Ingestion results based on Power BI subscriptions
You can only ingest Power BI metadata to which the Power BI user has access to. Your level of access is determined by your Power BI subscriptions.
The following table gives an overview of the minimum required subscriptions and the results in Data Catalog.
- The assets have the same names as their counterparts in Power BI. Full names and Display names cannot be changed in Data Catalog.
- Depending on your Power BI subscription, it could be that not all asset types are created.
- Asset types are only created if you have all specific Power BI and Data Catalog permissions.
- The Power BI assets are created in the domain (or domains) that you specify in the lineage harvester configuration file.
- Relations that were created between Power BI assets and other assets via a relation type in the Power BI operating model, are deleted upon synchronization. The same is true of any attribute types in the operating model that you add to Power BI assets. To ensure that the characteristics you add to Power BI assets are not deleted upon synchronization, be sure to use characteristics that are not part of the Power BI operating model.

Warning When you run the lineage harvester, Collibra Data Lineage creates all Power BI assets in the Data Catalog BI domain (or domains) you specified in the lineage harvester configuration file. We highly recommend that you do not move these assets to other domains. If you move assets to other domains, they will be deleted and recreated in the initial Data Catalog BI domains when you synchronize Power BI. As a result, all manually added characteristics of those assets are lost.
