Connect to a NoSQL database (Azure Cosmos DB)

 In this scenario, you'll use the Get data feature in Power BI Desktop. However, this time you'll select the More... option to locate and connect to the type of database that you use. In this example, you'll select the Azure category, select Azure Cosmos DB, and then select Connect.

On the Preview Connector window, select Continue and then enter your database credentials. In this example, on the Azure Cosmos DB window, you can enter the database details. You can specify the Azure Cosmos DB account endpoint URL that you want to get the data from (you can get the URL from the Keys blade of your Azure portal). Alternatively, you can enter the database name, collection name or use the navigator to select the database and collection to identify the data source.

If you're connecting to an endpoint for the first time, as you are in this example, make sure that you enter your account key. You can find this key in the Primary Key box in the Read-only Keys blade of your Azure portal.

Azure built-in roles for tables

Azure RBAC provides built-in roles for authorizing access to table data using Microsoft Entra ID and OAuth. Built-in roles that provide permissions to tables in Azure Storage include: Storage Table Data Contributor: Use to grant read/write/delete permissions to Table storage resources. Storage Table Data Reader: Use to grant read-only permissions to Table storage resources. To learn how to assign an Azure built-in role to a security principal, see Assign an Azure role for access to table data. To learn how to list Azure RBAC roles and their permissions, see List Azure role definitions. For more information about how built-in roles are defined for Azure Storage, see Understand role definitions. For information about creating Azure custom roles, see Azure custom roles. Only roles explicitly defined for data access permit a security principal to access table data. Built-in roles such as Owner, Contributor, and Storage Account Contributor permit a security principal to manage a storage acc...

Select and configure an appropriate method for access to Azure Blobs

Azure Storage supports using Microsoft Entra ID to authorize requests to blob data. With Microsoft Entra ID, you can use Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC) to grant permissions to a security principal, which may be a user, group, or application service principal. The security principal is authenticated by Microsoft Entra ID to return an OAuth 2.0 token. The token can then be used to authorize a request against the Blob service. Authorization with Microsoft Entra ID is available for all general-purpose and Blob storage accounts in all public regions and national clouds. Only storage accounts created with the Azure Resource Manager deployment model support Microsoft Entra authorization. For optimal security, Microsoft recommends using Microsoft Entra ID with managed identities to authorize requests against blob, queue, and table data, whenever possible. Authorization with Microsoft Entra ID and managed identities provides superior security and ease of use over Shared Key author...
