GetModifiedWorkspaces API - what constitutes 'modified'?

powercdc — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 15:08:59 GMT

Hi,

The documentation on the GetModifiedWorkspaces is very scant....

Admin - WorkspaceInfo GetModifiedWorkspaces - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn

It doesn't describe what constitues a 'modified' workspace. Is this information available?

For example:

- If no new content is published to a workspace, but permissions are changed (e.g. user is given access to a report) - is this workspace returned by the API call?

- How are deleted workspaces handled?

Any help or guidance on this would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @powercdc ,

The 'modified' workspace is determined by the parameter modifiedSince. It is set to a date-time, only the IDs of workspaces that changed after that date-time are returned. If the modifiedSince parameter isn't used, the IDs of all workspaces in the organization are returned.

According to my test, if no new content is published to a workspace, but permissions are changed (e.g. user is given access to a report) - this workspace won't be returned by the API call

The API will return the workspace even if it has been deleted(unless you exclude inactive workspace).

Thanks for your response Jianbo Li.

This does answer my question, but is not the answer I was looking for!

I had hoped to use the ability to load data deltas by providing a parameter, however if security changes, permissions etc. are not covered, then I will need to do a full load each time.

Hello Jianbo Li

What about the Deleted artifacts in a workspace. If I have an artifact and I delete it. Will that be considered as a modified workspaces and if that will be returned in the modified workspace with date time parameters?
