How to find source file of auto email Power BI report

A different user in my company created a PowerBI report that needs trouble shooting. The report sends an auto email but I don't know where the actual PowerBI file is located on the network. How can I figure out where the actual file is saved that is generated the auto email?

HI @Anonymous ,

You can use report id, group id and rest API to find out the corresponding report, but I don't think it is possible to access the actual file stored in power bi service.

BTW, the link that you share with external users not has the same report/group id as you share with organization users. (this link navigates you to a temp link to access shared contents)
