6 months agoPhasing out the report
I’m trying to retire a report that is currently published in our workspace. When I check Manage permissions, I can see that several users have access either through direct access or shareable links ...

Hi stribor45 ,
Yes, we can put a banner in the report as a notification stating that this report will be retired and provide the link to the new report.
To get the list of users, we can directly hit the REST API to retrieve users from the semantic model's manage permissions, as this is managed at the semantic model level, not the report level.import msal import requests import csv # Creds CLIENT_ID ='abc' CLIENT_SECRET = 'abc' TENANT_ID = 'abc' WORKSPACE_ID ='abc' DATASET_ID = 'abc'' AUTHORITY_URL = f"https://login.microsoftonline.com/{TENANT_ID}" SCOPE = ["https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api/.default"] # Bearer token def get_access_token(): app = msal.ConfidentialClientApplication( CLIENT_ID, authority=AUTHORITY_URL, client_credential=CLIENT_SECRET ) result = app.acquire_token_for_client(scopes=SCOPE) if "access_token" in result: return result["access_token"] else: raise Exception(f"Token Error: {result.get('error_description')}") # Get users def get_dataset_users(access_token): url = f"https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{WORKSPACE_ID}/datasets/{DATASET_ID}/users" headers = { "Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}" } users = [] while url: response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, timeout=30) if response.status_code != 200: raise Exception(f"API Error {response.status_code}: {response.text}") data = response.json() users.extend(data.get("value", [])) # Handle pagination url = data.get("@odata.nextLink") return users # check access try: print("Authenticating...") token = get_access_token() print("Fetching semantic model users...") users = get_dataset_users(token) print("\n--- Users with Direct Access to Semantic Model ---\n") for user in users: print( f"Identifier: {user.get('identifier')} | " f"Principal Type: {user.get('principalType')} | " f"Access Right: {user.get('datasetUserAccessRight')}" ) except Exception as e: print(f"Error: {e}")
Thanks

If you have access to powershell and the correct permissions you could use a few of the cmdlet available to pull a csv of all the users
