Super UserDataflow Lineage
Hi! All,
I am facing issues with few of my dataflows as they are failing and when I checked their sharepoint files some of them were last updated few months back. And some of them get's updated...

Super UserVerify actual usage via audit/activity logs
A. Power BI Activity Log & Microsoft Purview Audit
- Use the Power BI Activity Log (or Microsoft Purview Audit) to see Dataflow viewed/edited/exported events and dataset/report views downstream. These logs tell you if people are interacting with items fed by your dataflow.
- Admin monitoring workspace’s built‑in Feature Usage & Adoption report for a quick who‑used‑what view; combine this with Purview audit for user-level evidence.
Admin API access with a service principal must be enabled in tenant settings (“Allow service principals to use read-only admin APIs”).

Thanks Thomaslleblanc
Also, if I see lineage for some of the dataflows it shows the report or semantic model linked with it in other workspaces but nothing for this one. Is my assumption correct that this is not being used anywhere then?
