Adding your own "Authentication Service Principal" in DataCentral simplifies user and security management, reduces IT overhead, ensures compliance, and enhances the user experience by allowing access with familiar Microsoft credentials.
In DataCentral host settings, you can configure three Authentication Service Principals with different permissions, which Azure AD users must accept on their first login. This enables tenants to authenticate users with varying permission levels.

With that enabled, all user interactions will be tracked. An icon will appear above the report, allowing users to toggle on and off to see which visualizations are the most and least interacted with.

A feature that enables DataCentral administrators to authenticate using their Azure Active Directory (AAD) credentials and exercise their rights through an Authentication Service Principal. This Principal is consented with delegated permissions, allowing AAD users to manage and organize security groups they are marked as "owners" of within Entra ID.
As a result, administrators gain the ability to control Entra ID security groups linked to Power BI entities, thereby governing both internal and external user access to these entities in a single place.
