    Currently, it's not supported to control the end user email subscription by the report owner. For your requirement, I think you can use Reporting Services. You can configure data-driven subscription to group of users with timely basis Email on report server.

We faced the same issue. We found a workaround.

1 - Create a system id (i.e. PBI-ID) with an associated email account (Non-expiring password id)

2 - Use this system ID to login to Power BI service and subscribe to the desired report/dashboard

3 - Create a DL with all the users you want to be notified when the dataset gets refreshed

4 - Auto forward emails from PBI-ID's email account to the DL.

 

The last two steps have nothing to do with Power BI. You would need to contact the group that manages email accounts and DLs.

 

So, when the dataset gets refreshed, the email is sent to PBI-ID email only. However, the auto forward piece takes care of notifying all your users thru the DL
