Data architecture refers to the principles, practices, and methodologies that govern and define what data is collected, and how it's ingested, stored, managed, integrated, modeled, and used.
There are many data architecture decisions to make. Frequently the COE engages in data architecture design and planning. It's common for administrators to get involved as well, especially when they manage databases or Azure infrastructure.
Who is responsible for managing and maintaining the data architecture? Is it a centralized team, or a decentralized team? How is the COE represented in this team? Are certain skillsets required?
What data sources are the most important? What types of data will we be acquiring?
A POC doesn't have to be throwaway work, but it should be narrow in scope. Best practices reviews, as described in the Mentoring and user enablement article, are another useful way to help content creators with important architectural decisions.
High privilege role
The Fabric administrator role is a high privilege role because:
Proper management of tenant settings in the Fabric portal is critical. Tenant settings are the main way to control which capabilities are enabled, and for which groups of users in your organization.
It's essential that tenant settings align with governance guidelines and policies, and with how the COE makes decisions. If a Fabric administrator independently decides which settings to enable or disable, that's a clear indicator of an opportunity to improve and refine your governance processes.
Because there's no reader role to view tenant settings, it can be a challenge for users to know what's enabled or disabled. Consider publishing a document to your centralized portal that describes the tenant settings.
The following activities apply when reviewing and validating each tenant setting:
Considerations and key actions
Auditing and monitoring
It's critical that you make use of auditing data to analyze adoption efforts, understand usage patterns, educate users, support users, mitigate risk, improve compliance, manage license costs, and monitor performance. For more information about why auditing your data is valuable, see Auditing and monitoring overview.
REST APIs
The Power BI REST APIs and the Fabric REST APIs provide a wealth of information about your Power BI tenant. Retrieving data by using the REST APIs should play an important role in managing and governing a Power BI implementation. For more information about planning for the use of REST APIs for auditing, see Tenant-level auditing.
