Creating Microsoft Intune Account & Publishing Reports in Power BI

🚀 Today marks Day 44 of my Data Analytics journey. I focused on learning how to create an account in Microsoft Intune and how to publish a report in Power BI.

What I learned

1. Creating an Account in Microsoft Intune

Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based service used to manage devices, apps, and security in organizations.
I learned how to log in to the Microsoft 365 admin center, create or use an organizational account, enable Intune services, and explore the Endpoint Manager Admin Center.
This step is important because it connects user accounts, device management, and access permissions that are also linked with Power BI.

2. Publishing Reports in Power BI

After signing into Power BI Desktop with my organizational account, I connected to a dataset and created a report.
Using the Publish option, I uploaded the report to the Power BI service (app.powerbi.com).
I explored publishing to My Workspace and also learned that for collaboration, App Workspaces are a better choice.

3. Extra insights I gained

Workspaces make it easier to manage datasets and reports as a team.
Sharing reports can be done directly or by packaging them into an App for wider distribution.
The Publish to Web option makes reports public, but it should not be used for confidential data.
Row-Level Security (RLS) is an important feature to control what data each user can see — very useful for real-world analytics projects.

Reflection

Today’s learning showed me how the Microsoft ecosystem connects — Intune manages accounts and security, while Power BI helps analyze and share data. Both together create a secure environment for analytics in organizations.
