Audit and activity logs - "ShareReport" operation don't show "to whom" is shared the report

Hi!

I'm studying different options to access to audit and activity log.
I'm interested in "ShareReport" activity, because I need to inform Auditors "who" give access to Report and "to whom" it is granted.
My administrator has send me the csv file he can download from, i guess, Power Shell.

The line correspondent to Share Report activity, I can not find information about who received the permission.

Is there any way to obtain more information about this kind of operations?

@Anonymous , @GilbertQ  I have posted an idea on Microsoft portal, for including some details we need to obtain from auditory logs. You would help me voting on the following link. Thanks! Have a nice day

Hi @NatachaPN 

 

As far as I know that is all you can see is when the report was shared, but not more information with whom it was shared with. 

 

I think that is a current limitation of the audit log.

 

The only other way I can think of is via the audit logs once the report is shared, is to see who has then viewed the same report.





Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!

I've open a ticket to support. 

In https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/detailed-properties-in-the-office-365-audi... can see the unified audit log shows more details in a field "AuditData", y the case of Sharepoint there is a "UserSharedWith" property, but I don't find the same for PowerBI. It has no sense.

Hi @NatachaPN

 

Currently, there's no way of programmatically getting an overview of who can access a report/dataset after having it manually shared with them. I'm positive that it will arrive in the future, but there's not been any public information for this. 

 

So the only option right now, is to go to the workspace and view the report/dataset in the Power BI Service, and then go for Manage Permissions.

 

Trust me, I'm waiting for a more elegant approach as well 😃.
