Hi tyranlewis

 

You may access the raw data by downloading a report.

 

An user can download the dataset by exporting the pbix file from PBI Service,

if he has edit rights for the specific report and your administrator has not turned off the export data feature.

 

For more informations about this feature, please read

https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-export-to-pbix/

 

Please be aware that:

"For now, the preview feature can only download reports that originated from Power BI Desktop. If your report originated from the Power BI service either via a cloud dataset or a content pack, we can't open it in Power BI Desktop yet. Stay tuned for updates in this area - we plan to extend this feature to other types of reports. "

I'm not talking user reports.  I mean I want to be able to create my own reports from the raw data from the Power BI Admin Portal..

    ah. sorry. I missunderstood your question.

    Do you have access to the O365 tenant (aka Admin Portal)?

    If yes, you have to install an audit log for Power BI.

    Then you can download the logs from there.
