Implement workspace-level access controls in Microsoft Fabric (DP-600)

Introduction

Microsoft Fabric provides robust access control mechanisms to manage data security and user permissions effectively. In the DP-600 certification exam, understanding how to implement workspace-level access controls is crucial for securing sensitive data and ensuring appropriate governance. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to manage workspace access, assign roles, and apply best practices for security and efficiency.

Fabric Workspace

A workspace in Microsoft Fabric serves as a collaborative environment where teams can work on items such as lakehouses, data pipelines, notebooks, reports, and other analytics assets. These workspaces help structure and streamline projects, enabling efficient teamwork. Users can create, manage, and share Fabric items, ensuring seamless collaboration with proper security controls.

Workspace Roles and Permissions

Controlling access at the workspace level ensures that only authorized users can view, edit, or manage these assets. Microsoft Fabric defines the following primary workspace roles:

The different workspace roles have the following permissions:

1. Admin – Has full control over the workspace, including managing access permissions, deleting content, and assigning roles.
2. Member – Can edit workspace content and grant access to others but cannot delete the workspace itself.
3. Contributor – Can edit and modify content but cannot manage access permissions.
4. Viewer – Has read-only access to view content but cannot edit or modify anything.

The table below provides an overview of the key capabilities assigned to each role.
