Microsoft create Purview, a data governance solution.

Since Microsoft Fabric was in preview, there was a promise of a deeper integration between Fabric and this governance solution. This integration is finally available.

This governance solution is a complete world by itself. This is only a small summary of what’s available.

First access to Purview

Purview is not only one more experience in Fabric. We can activate the governance solution acessing  Settings -> Microsoft Purview Hub (preview)

It can take up to 30 minutes to build the first insights about our environment.

The first Purview Insights

The insights provide a very good view of our Power BI/Fabric environment.

It focuses on certified, endorsed and promoted items, as it would be expected from a governance tool. But the view of the entire environment is already very interesting by itself.

Admin Workspace

The governace feature creates an Admin workspace.

Admin monitoring workspace in a special position among workspaces

The workspace contains two reports and semantic models:

• Features Usage and Adoption
• Purview Hub

Both provide many different views of our Power BI/Fabric environment. My attention is caught by the very interesting overview of all the content available in our environment.

Sensitivity

Managing sensitivity labels is one more governance feature available.

Summary

This seems a great start and we have a lot to work on how to make data governance in Fabric environment.
