To ensure embedded reports require authentication and only read-only live connections against Fabric capacity cloud semantic models, which action should you perform in the Fabric admin portal?

• A. Enable Publish to web
• B. Enable Analyze in Excel with on-premises semantic models
• C. Disable Allow XMLA endpoints
• D. Disable Publish to web

Answer: (D)

Disabling Publish to web is the correct action because Publish to web exposes embedded content publicly without requiring sign-in. That undermines the requirement for authentication and would allow anonymous users to access the reports, even though the underlying data is a read-only live connection to Fabric’s cloud semantic models. By turning this off in the Fabric admin portal, embedded reports must go through the normal authentication flow, ensuring only authorized users can view them, while preserving the live, read-only connection to the cloud models. The other options don’t directly enforce authenticated access for embedded content.
