Removing a user at once
Can I delete a user from multiple reports all at once. Meaning not having to go through every report and remove this specific person?
Using Microsoft Power BI Cmdlets, and the API it is possible. You can handle it at the workspace level, and recurse through all workspaces at once. Depending upon the usage, only Power BI tenant admins are allowed to use it.

Management by PowerShell is worth spending time on.

Hello Anonymous ,
a clear answer would be that if you removed him from the datasource, then every power bi file that uses this source will be removed from.
but if everyone is readung this employee from a different table, then you should remove him from everyone.
If I answered your question, please mark my post as solution, Appreciate your Kudos 👍
