As a Fabric Admin, we noticed there are restrictions when it comes to accessing cloud connections throughout our Microsoft Fabric environment. Access is controlled by ownership and specific permissions, which means even Fabric Admins can’t view or manage these connections unless they’re given explicit access. This can make it challenging to troubleshoot, audit, or assist users in different departments efficiently. ... View more

Please make it possible to run a notebook as the Workspace Identity, instead of running as a user identity.   This means the notebook (and the notebook's security context, i.e. the notebook's authentication to data connections) will not depend on any single user but use the Workspace Identity instead. ...

Currently the explorer section of the warehouse has a min-width of 200px hardcoded via css. Since many table names from sources like SAP are way longer than a few characters, this forces the user to always drag the explorer section to the required width which is time consuming and frustrating.     Please make the width more aligned with the content of the Tables ...

When you set a default value for a parameter inside the Dataflow, the engine just uses that value at runtime without trying to override it.  Passing in a different value at runtime means the pipeline activity has to override the parameter. In the current Gen2 with CI/CD preview, the parameter override binding isn’t fully implemented — so: The activity accepts the parameter definition. But when you pass a new value, it either ignores it or fails, falling back to the default Right now, Gen2 CI/CD parameters are more like constants with optional defaults, not fully dynamic variables you can swap out at run time. ...

There is no option to specify the timeout on an Invoke Pipeline activity.  Please consider adding the option for both the Legacy and Preview activities.  Currently it seems to default to the max 7 days.  We had a job that was running the full 7 days in the background without a failure until it reached 7 days.  The timeout error was this: "The workflow action 'ExecuteINVOKE PipelineName' timed out while waiting for webhook callback." ...

We enabling the Private Link in Fabric Administration, the functionality to share PowerBI reports public (publish on internet) is disabled. I would like to be able to differentiate between workspaces (some secured with a private link, e.g. via a fabric capacity) and other with Public Acces (e.g. with PowerBI Pro license) ... View more

Currently, when sharing a report from a workspace in Power BI, the default option shown is: "People in your organization with the link can view and share." Even if I change this to "Specific people", enter the intended recipients, and apply the changes, the next time I click the Share button, it reverts back to the default "People in your organization" option. This can be misleading and may result in unintentionally broader access if the user forgets to reselect "Specific people."   Please consider enhancing the Share dialog to: Remember the last selected sharing option (e.g., "Specific people") for that report or user session. Or allow users to set a default sharing preference at the report or workspace level. Provide a clearer indication of the current sharing scope to avoid accidental oversharing. This would improve usability and help maintain tighter control over report access, especially in environments where data sensitivity is a concern.   Thanks for considering this improvement! ...

We are from Ford Power BI Tenant Admin Team and we are trying to extract Usage Metrics of Workspaces, Users, Items, Capacities, Refreshes and etc. that are managed by our team. We have few specific KPIs/Metrics we are looking at and to get them we explored both Feature Usage/Adoption and Content Sharing Dashboards. Attached in the Excel Screenshot are our Findings. For each KPI/Metric, we have put our expectation/requirement and also mentioned what we saw as a limitation in getting what we actually want. We have opened a case with Microsoft with TrackingID#2508120040003141 and we were asked to post an Idea on this portal. We would like to know: If there is an easy way in extracting Metrics from existing Admin Monitoring Dashboards? It requires us to put filters each time we navigate between visuals within same report. If there are more filter options on more fields(Dimensions/Measures) would help us extract reports with granular detail. The timeframe is also limited and we cannot set filters on that - another problem. Could you please take this suggestion/feedback from the Excel Screenshot and help introduce enhancements to the existing Admin Monitoring dashboards that helps Tenant Admins.  ... View more

When I'm in the Power Query Editor (Transform Data) in Power BI Desktop, and need to add a new query, there's no built-in option to choose OneLake (Fabric Lakehouse, Fabric Warehouse, etc.) as a source.   When selecting New Source -> More -> Microsoft Fabric, the only option is Dataflows.   Please make it easier to connect to OneLake sources in Power Query in Power BI Desktop. ...

The current card visual forces users to overlap elements or waste copious amounts of time creating custom visuals. The new card feature should give users the ability to create multiple cards in a single container and provide a greater level of customization. ... View more

It would be beneficial to incorporate features from Pivot tables that allow for the expansion and collapse of columns and hierarchical column groups within tabular visuals. This would not only solve the current limitations of matrices but also provide report creators with the flexibility to hide and show rows and columns, saving these settings for future use, thus eliminating the need to scroll through irrelevant data. ...

Monitoring the number of parallel refreshes currently in progress can greatly assist Power BI administrators in managing their tasks more efficiently. By tracking which users are initiating the most refreshes, administrators can better oversee system usage. Additionally, having this information enables admins to regulate capacity, optimize resource utilization, and monitor the remaining available space within the system, ensuring smoother operations and preventing potential issues related to capacity limits. ...

The Copy Activity has the Upsert option that is currently in preview (Fabric). I found that it has 2 bugs: Dynamic destination: If you try and use this, it results in no updates happening. I logged a support ticket for this, and it was agreed that setting dynamic destination is buggy and not functional at all. Mapping only a few columns from source to destination results in the non-mapped columns all being set to NULL. Of course non mapped columns should just not be touched, thats the point of not mapping them. ... View more

Because of the Proxy authenication issue (currently Onelake explorer does NOT support proxy autheniciation via Kerberos/ NTLM), it is not possible to use Onelake within company network environment, in where the Proxy is used for accessing Internet.   And i believe many many Corp.s have this setup, So if this idea could be realized, it will be benefit lots of Fabric users.   ...
