Workspace-Level Private Link in Microsoft Fabric: General Availability

Microsoft has announced the general availability of Fabric workspace-level Private Link, a feature designed to enhance security and connectivity within Microsoft Fabric environments.

Key Features

  • Workspace-Level Private Link (GA):

    • Supports finer-grained access control over Fabric artifacts.
    • Can be managed via both APIs and directly from the Fabric Portal.
  • Simplified Management:
    • Enables seamless management and interaction with workspace artifacts.
    • Streamlines the process for building, managing, and collaborating within secure data experiences.

How it Works

Security Benefits
