• Recommend settings in the Fabric admin portal

• Choose a data gateway type

• Create a custom Power BI report theme

Implement and manage a data analytics environment

• Implement workspace and item-level access controls for Fabric items

• Implement data sharing for workspaces, warehouses, and lakehouses

• Manage sensitivity labels in semantic models and lakehouses

• Configure Fabric-enabled workspace settings

• Manage Fabric capacity

Manage the analytics development lifecycle

• Implement version control for a workspace

• Create and manage a Power BI Desktop project (.pbip)

• Plan and implement deployment solutions

• Perform impact analysis of downstream dependencies from lakehouses, data warehouses, dataflows, and semantic models

• Deploy and manage semantic models by using the XMLA endpoint

• Create and update reusable assets, including Power BI template (.pbit) files, Power BI data source (.pbids) files, and shared semantic models
