Azure Active Directory Users pictures

Hi all,

 

I'd need to use in Power BI the pictures of our employees, stored in our Azure AD (not on premise AD, so not using the Active Directory connector in PBI).

I've read (and tried) things about powershell, about MS Graph API and finally about MS Graph data connect (which seems to be the recommended option), but MS Graph data connect seems to require an Azure blob storage (data lake), which I believe cost something.

 

Isn't there a more simple solution to pull these pictures? One would think it's a trivial request, right?

Thx in advance for your inputs!

Ben

    Hi BenCardineau ,

     

    I think you can export Azure Active Directory logs to your log analysics workspace and then use a blank M query to ingest log analytics data.

    Please refer to the similar thread below.

    Log Analytics integration with Power BI

     

    Hope this helps you.

      thx v-yinliw-msft for your inputs!! Yes, logs can be relatively accessed/exported, but as far as I understood, pictures are in no way part of any log report... ğŸ˜¢
