+# View entity data in Power BI Desktop (Preview)
+
+[!INCLUDE [cc-beta-prerelease-disclaimer](../../includes/cc-beta-prerelease-disclaimer.md)]
+
+You can use Power BI Desktop to view entities in Common Data Service. The entity
+record data that you can access from your environment is ready-only. Data access
+uses the Common Data Service security model that is the same used to access
+entity record data using a Power Apps app.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> - This is a preview feature, and isn't available in all regions.

+
+1.  Sign into [Power Apps](https://make.powerapps.com/), and then select the
+    appropriate environment from the top-right corner.
+
+2.  On the left navigation pane expand **Data**, select **Entities**, and then
+    select **Analyze in Power BI** on the command bar.
+
+    The pbids file for your environment is downloaded to your browser’s default download folder.
+
+3.  Open the .pbids file to access it in Power BI Desktop. Don’t have Power BI
+    Desktop? [Get it now](https://powerbi.microsoft.com/downloads/).
+
+4.  The pbids file is loaded in Power BI Desktop. In the **SQL Server database**
+    dialog box, select **Microsoft account**, select **Sign in**, and then in
+    the browser window that appears enter your credentials.

+    its data.
