Need help with the API

Anonymous — Thu, 02 Jul 2020 14:24:33 GMT

Hello Everyone,

I've a doubt as mentioned below -

Is there an API or another way to recover the list of users having access to applications? Those users are not members in the workspace. I know there's a way to do this via Power Shell but I would be be great if there's an API based solution.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks & Warm Regards,

Harsh

There is a way via Powershell? I am not aware of that - do you have more details?

What I resorted to is to do screen scraping off the Report permissions page in the workspace. It's not exactly the same as the list in the app but it's close enough for my purposes. Once I collected the list I then run it through a powershell script that identifies the most fitting PDLs while also avoiding oversharing.

HI @Anonymous,

Maybe you can use 'power bi audit log' or rest API 'Admin - Get Activity Events' to trace the user activities and summarize these user activity operations.
