Enable content certification

Your organization can certify selected content to identify it an as authoritative source for critical information. Currently, the following content types can be certified:

  • Semantic models
  • Dataflows
  • Reports
  • Apps

As a Fabric admin, you're responsible for enabling and setting up the certification process for your organization. This means:

  • Enabling certification on your tenant.
  • Defining a list of security groups whose members are authorized to certify content.
  • Providing a URL that points to the documentation for the organization's content certification process, if such documentation exists.

Certification is part of Power BI's endorsement feature. See Endorsement: Promoting and certifying Power BI content for more information.
