    The automatic data refresh is hourly/daily. It's not executed when an end user access the dashboard. So it should be the true usage of the user.

It has similar feature request like dedicate permission for "non admin" users to view Usage information, please also vote this idea as well.

Hi Team,

We are also capturing all traces from xEvents Analysis services traces and found that lots of time Power BI Engine executes auto refresh queries for all users and we could not identify true usage. Could you please let us know any way to identify query from Power BI engine and user. EffectiveUserName from request properties gives user aliases only.

 

Thanks,

Siva
