Advocate IICapturing Usage Metrics from external Customers using embedded Power BI
Hi FritzVPL
From your statement, I know you use app owns data to embed reports to customers.
So your customer don't need to sign in Power BI(don't need to access report by AAD token), they can access reports by embed token.
Currently Power BI Usage Metrics doesn't support us to trace embedded reports.
For reference: Monitor usage metrics
Note:
Usage metrics track usage of reports that are embedded in SharePoint Online. However, usage metrics don't track dashboards and reports embedded via the “user owns credentials” or “app owns credentials” flow. Usage metrics also don't track usage of reports embedded via publish to web.

Advocate IIHello Anonymous , Could you please take another look at this support ticket and let me know if usage metrics are still not supported for our "user owns credentials" or "app owns credentials" scenario?
We really would like to track usage by customer and this has been a huge pain point for us. If this is still not supported and if you have any other reccomendations on how we can accomplish this it would be greatly appreciated.
Hello Anonymous have the same question. Using app owns data pattern and keen to understand if usage metrics can be generated based on the actual user viewing the report. The embed token contains the username. If it's not out of the box, is there a way to create a custom usage metrics report with username in the embed token? Thanks
