Terms in this definition
- Workspace
Teams in Power BI and Microsoft Fabric collaborate in this folder-style container, which groups items such as reports, semantic models and lakehouses, controls who can access them and is assigned a capacity.
- Online management group
Workloads that may talk directly to or from the internet, or that need no virtual network at all, go in this management group. It is a sibling of Corp and Local beneath Landing zones.
- Microsoft 365 groups
Collaboration groups in Microsoft 365 that give members a shared calendar, mailbox and file space.

- Notebook
