Creating a Power BI workspace

Before we start importing content into the Power BI cloud service, you will need a workspace for the project. A workspace is a way to organize, secure, and govern content in the Power BI cloud service. For this project, you need a workspace that supports the use of both dataflows and ML, which at the time of writing requires either Power BI Premium with a Pro license or a Premium Per User license. If you do not have either of these licenses, you can still follow along with this book for learning purposes and explore the code samples in the Packt GitHub repository.

Workspaces can be extended to include integration with security capabilities, information protection, deployment pipelines for life cycle management, and more. This book will only cover how to create a basic workspace since extensive documentation about workspaces is available online. A tutorial for creating workspaces can be found at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate...
