How to get what app audience(s) do users exist under
I need to determine which app audience(s) our users belong to within Power BI. Specifically, I’m looking to get a list of audiences for each Power BI app so we can verify user access.
Can you advise on how to retrieve this information, or share the best method to export the app audience details?
As far as I know, "Show data point as a table" isn't available for all visuals in the Power BI Service, even though it is in Power BI Desktop. The Desktop and Service don't always offer the same context menu options, especially for map visuals.
Since you mentioned this used to work for the same report, I'd first check whether anything has changed recently, such as the visual type, tenant settings, or a recent Power BI Service update. If nothing has changed on your end, it could also be a regression in the Service.
As a workaround, you could use Drillthrough, a report page tooltip, or a table visual that responds to the map selection, depending on the experience you're trying to provide.
We run into these kinds of Desktop vs. Service differences occasionally when helping customers publish Power BI reports to external users. They can be surprisingly subtle.
I'd be interested to hear if others can still reproduce this inthe current version of the Power BI Service.

Hi smanda,
Below mentioned REST API helps to fetch all the users that have access to the App.
For more details, refer below Microsoft reference -
Admin - Apps GetAppUsersAsAdmin - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn

Best regards,
Rupasree Achari | BI & Fabric Analytics Engineer- GetAppUsersAsAdmin only returns the list of users for a Power BI App.
But it does NOT tell you which App Audiences those users belong to, and it does not enumerate users by dashboard/report.
