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.
- All Power BI asset types are created in the same domain.
-
Relations that were manually created between Power BI assets and other assets in accordance with the relation types in the Power BI operating model, are deleted after a refresh of the Power BI metadata.

Warning When you run the harvesters, Collibra Data Lineage creates all Power BI assets in the same Data Catalog BI domain. We highly recommend that you do not move these assets to another domain. If you move assets to another domain, they will be deleted and recreated in the initial Data Catalog BI domain when you synchronize Power BI. As a consequence, all manually added data of those assets is lost.
