Question

Your organization has a widely reused sales semantic model published to a Power BI workspace. The Center of Excellence has formally reviewed and validated the model as the authoritative source for company reporting. They want it to appear with a special badge in the OneLake data hub and the Datasets list so report authors trust it as the official version. As a workspace admin, what should you do to apply the highest level of trust indicator, and who must ultimately authorize it?

Accepted Answer

Set the endorsement to Certified from the semantic model settings, which only users authorized by the Fabric/Power BI admin in the tenant settings can apply.

Answer

Set the endorsement to Promoted from the semantic model settings; any workspace Member can do this.

Answer

Apply a Confidential sensitivity label to the model so it shows a trusted badge in the data hub.

Answer

Grant Build permission to all report authors, which automatically marks the model as Certified.
