Please add a setting in the Power BI Subscription pane to choose the sender identity.
Currently, the platform forces emails to route through the subscription owner's personal Exchange Online mailbox. While this may be useful for some, it causes a major pain point for users who manage large internal distribution lists: every internal "Out of Office" reply floods the owner's inbox.
Creating Outlook rules is not a practical solution. Using service account is not possible in some organizations.
Proposed Solution:
Add a simple checkbox when creating a subscription:
- [ ] Send via personal Exchange mailbox (Replies routed to you)
- [X] Send via system service ([email protected])

Inbox gets flooded by Out of Office emails, Sent mailbox gets flooded by each individual report going out to each individual recipient. Praying they revisit this.
I was surprised that we don't have the option to change the email address the reports are sent from. I'd like the option to use the workspace email as well.
As this post was originally marked as spam, I created another one, assuming that this post is not going to be approved. Please vote on the almost identical one as I see it is getting more view and votes. Hopefully Microsoft is going to do something about it.
