    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.

Hi Anonymous

 

Although this isn't possible out of the box however there is a workaround.

 

  1. Create a user with a Power Bi Pro license and who has access to an Outlook mailbox
  2. Create a distribution list containing the users you wish to email
  3. Subscribe to your report/dashboard using you new user account
  4. Configure a mail flow rule in Outlook to "redirect" emails to the distribution list
  5. Your users in the distribution list will now recieve content from the subscribe Power Bi dashboard

Please note these users will still require a Power Bi pro license to access the report/dashboard directly.

 

Thanks,

J
