Hi Lydia

 

Thank you for your time.

We add users as members to the workspace to give access to the dashboard and reports.

 

 

 

Thanks and Regards,

Hi tagoreb,

I am trying to test the scenario as yours, however, I get a different result on my side, please check the details in the following screenshot.  I added three users in Power BI group. Could you please share me the result of your SQL trace?






Thanks,
Lydia Zhang

    Hi Lydia

     

    Please check the Query Begin Text Data and you will get the <effective user name> tag and you can see those queries triggered for those 3 users you added.  

     

    Our expectation is that those queries should get triggered/seen only when the user login to PBI service and when try to access the dashboard.  However, with out user's interaction, while automatic data refresh is processing, we are seeing the query entries in Trace.

     

    We have 100+ users added as members and hence you can see more Query Begin and End entries in the Trace.  Please find the below screen shot as requested.

      Hi tagoreb,

      I have checked <effective user name> tag in each Query Begin Text Data. However, I am not able to reproduce your issue. In my SQL trace, those DAX queries get triggered only when the group members login to PBI service and access the dashboard. Also during the automatic data refresh process, the <effective user name>  is always me if the three group members don't access the shared dashabord and report.

      How do you grant the group members access to gateway in Power BI Service? Do you embed the report in other application?

      Thanks,
      Lydia Zhang

        Hi Lydia We used Workspace name in data source in gateway so that all members part of workspace will get access always. We did not embed the report in any other application. Thanks Ravi
