Which Fabric capability enables external data sharing with policy-based access, data license tagging, and audit trails?

• A. Shared Power BI dashboards
• B. OneLake sharing with policy-based access, data license tagging, and audit trails.
• C. Data factory external link
• D. Public blob container

Answer: (B)

External data sharing with governance and licensing is a capability you’ll find in Fabric through OneLake sharing combined with policy-based access, data license tagging, and audit trails. OneLake acts as the centralized storage layer where data from different workspaces can be shared with external partners. Policy-based access enforces who can access what data and under which conditions, ensuring sharing aligns with your organization’s rules. Data license tagging attaches licensing terms directly to data assets, making it clear what external users are permitted to do with the data and helping with compliance. Audit trails capture who accessed or modified data and when, providing accountability and the ability to investigate any access events.

Other options don’t provide this integrated governance model. Sharing a Power BI dashboard focuses on distributing BI visuals rather than provisioning external data access with licensing metadata and audit logging. A Data Factory external link enables data movement or integration, not external data sharing with policy enforcement and licensing tags. A public blob container offers storage access that can be broadly exposed but lacks built-in policy-based access controls, licensing tagging, and comprehensive audit trails.
