Your Power BI dashboards, secure in a portal of your own.

Share a Power BI dashboard without separate accounts and exports

If you share Power BI dashboards through the Power BI service, you arrange accounts, licences and workspace permissions per person, and for external parties it is even harder. It often ends with a PDF in an email or one shared account. Then nobody knows who sees which figures.

In ENABLE you invite people by email. They get their own portal account, with two-factor authentication if your organisation makes it mandatory. Access profiles determine which dashboards they open, row-level security which rows they see, and every viewing session is logged.

Power BI Embedded in ENABLE: how it works

Platform admins connect your organisation's Power BI workspace via a Microsoft Entra service principal. ENABLE then synchronises the reports and pages. Per report you set whether the filter pane is visible, how page navigation works, which pages are hidden and whether the mobile layout is used.

When a user opens a dashboard, ENABLE first checks their access profile and any RLS setting. Only then does ENABLE request a read-only token from Power BI, with the right role where needed. That token is renewed automatically for as long as the dashboard is open.

So viewers don't need their own Power BI account: they sign in to the portal. Which Power BI licences or capacity your organisation itself needs depends on your situation; we discuss that up front.

Management dashboard and KPI dashboard: what goes in?

A good management dashboard answers a handful of questions that come back every week: are we on track, where are we deviating and where do we need to step in? A KPI dashboard for a team goes one level deeper, with the figures that team can influence itself.

• Start from the decisions the dashboard needs to support, not from the data that happens to be available.
• Choose a limited number of KPIs per page and show the trend and the deviation from target.
• Record targets in one place, for example in the Targets app in ENABLE, so actuals and targets sit in the same dashboard.
• Use row-level security if different managers need to see the same dashboard with their own figures.

Self-service BI alongside standard dashboards

Not every question fits a standard dashboard. That is why ENABLE also offers self-service BI: in the SQL Explorer, client admins ask questions in plain language, with AI writing the SQL, and with the dashboard builder (pilot) they build simple dashboards themselves on approved data.

Everything runs on the same data warehouse and within the same portal, with the same access rules.

Need a Power BI consultant? Data Analytics builds your dashboards

ENABLE is made by Data Analytics B.V., a specialist in Power BI dashboards and data. You can put your own reports in the portal, but you can also have the dashboards built for you. Data Analytics then starts with the end product: first a sketch or prototype of the dashboard, so you see what you will get before anything is built.

Then the data is connected and modelled, the dashboards are built and the portal is configured. That way you get the dashboards and the place where they are shared securely in a single project.
