545: Agents Helping with Data Governance

Mike & Tommy tackle whether AI agents can solve what the Power BI admin portal can't—giving you a true tenant-level, workspace-free view of who can access what in Fabric. They break down Taylor B.'s real-world agent that stitches together audit logs, model APIs, grants, direct links, and app audiences into a central governance store, and weigh in on whether Microsoft's native governance story is ready or still a DIY puzzle. From Purview's role to the risks of letting agents reason over permissions, they explore what it would take to make data governance in Fabric actually feel complete—and what builders like Taylor should ship now versus wait for.
