Security & Governance in Writeback Matrix

Inforiver visuals are certified by Microsoft. In addition, the product enables three levels of security inside your Power BI applications:

  1. Security provided by your tenant / Power BI at the workspace and data levels (including RLS or row-level security)

  2. Admin-level security - e.g., administrators can decide whether Inforiver users can write to Snowflake

  3. Report-level security - e.g., report creators can authorize specific users to perform specific actions in the report, such as who can comment, enter data, create scenarios, etc.
