Configure App Service for Power BI Semantic Model Access

You work for MDFT Academy, a training agency that uses Power BI Premium Per User (PPU) workspaces to manage their training data. Your team has built an Azure App Service app named QUIZMANAGER that modifies RLS (row-level security) roles by using the XMLA endpoint.

QUIZMANAGER currently uses Microsoft Entra credentials to access the XMLA endpoint of the Premium Per User (PPU) workspace. You want to configure the app to use a service account instead of Microsoft Entra credentials.

What should you do first?

Choose the correct answer from the options below.

Explanations for each answer:

Add a managed identity to the workspace is incorrect. Adding a managed identity to a Power BI workspace is not possible - workspaces don't have managed identities. Instead, the managed identity needs to be configured on the application that needs to access the workspace.
Upgrade the workspace to Premium capacity is incorrect. The workspace is already using Premium Per User (PPU), which provides the necessary XMLA endpoint functionality. Upgrading to Premium capacity would not address the requirement to use a service account.
Modify the XMLA Endpoint setting is incorrect. The XMLA endpoint is already available in PPU workspaces. Modifying its settings would only change access permissions but would not provide the service account functionality needed for the app.
Add a managed identity to QUIZMANAGER is correct.
