How to govern Inventory in Power BI
A step-by-step guide to governing Inventory in Power BI with Rencore: detect, review by owner and severity, and remediate with an audit trail.
Governing Inventory in Power BI means finding where it goes wrong, reviewing the findings by owner and severity, and remediating with an audit trail. Rencore covers this concern for Power BI with the pre-built controls below, so it becomes a repeatable check rather than a one-off cleanup. The steps that follow apply the same detect, review, remediate loop to Inventory.
Steps
-
Inventory Power BI
Connect Power BI and let Rencore build a continuous inventory of its resources, owners, and configuration, so governance starts from what exists rather than a stale export.
-
Detect with policies
Turn on the pre-built policies that cover Inventory in Power BI to surface oversharing, sprawl, and misconfiguration on the first scan, before writing a single custom rule.
-
Review by owner and severity
Use the Power BI reports to review findings by owner, category, and severity, and to share them with stakeholders who do not have a seat in the platform.
-
Remediate and automate
Apply automations to fix findings at scale, route sensitive changes through approvals, and keep every action reversible and logged for the audit trail.
