Hallo everyone,
I have a question regarding the document that Power BI published regarding its security.
In the document is mentioned that Power BI does store the data on "Azure BLOB" and the metadata on "Azure SQL Server".
In the "Data Storage and Movement" chapter it is written that the data is either stored "at rest" or "in process".
1. "in process" is referring to LiveQueries such as Azure SQL Server LiveQonnection.
2. "at rest" is referred to "imported" data such as Excel files or Data Sources like SAP BW, OData etc.
BUT:
- when we connect to CRM Dynamics Online, does Power BI extract the data, transform it and load it into Azre BLOB, or does it only make a reference to the data source on CRM Dynamics Onine?
- is the below quoted text from the "Power BI Security Whitepaper" file true?
"Non-Direct Query queries do not include credentials for the underlying data, and the underlying data is loaded into the Power BI service unless it is on-premises data accessed through a Power BI Gateway, in which case the query only stores references to on-premises data." -> That would mean that if a company accesses to its SAP data via "Power BI Gateway on-premise", the MASTER DATA of SAP would NOT be stored in Azure BLOB?
Thank you in advance
