Question

Your organization has enabled Microsoft Purview Information Protection with a mandatory labeling policy that requires all Power BI content to have a sensitivity label. A report author complains they cannot publish a new semantic model from Power BI Desktop to the service. As the Power BI administrator, what is the MOST likely cause and the correct resolution?

Accepted Answer

The author has not applied a sensitivity label to the file in Power BI Desktop; they must apply a label before publishing because the mandatory policy blocks unlabeled content.

Answer

The author lacks a Power BI Pro license; assign them a Pro license so they can publish to a shared workspace.

Answer

The workspace is in a Premium capacity that has export restrictions; move the workspace to shared capacity to allow publishing.

Answer

Row-level security roles must be defined before any labeled model can be published; add at least one RLS role to the model.
