Can I get an alert when users make changes on the published report

Hello!

 

I made a powerBI report and published it to a workspace. I have several users with the permission of "members" so that they can edit my published reports online and save their changes. Is it possible that when they made some changes on the report, could I get an alert from PowerBI ?

 

Thanks a lot!

Hi. I'm sorry but no. You can't get an alert when a user modifies a report online. You can consider changing theirs role to viewer if you don't want them modifying the report or create a PowerBi App sharing it without build permissions instead of adding them to the workspace.

You can check the data manually. There is a request at the Power Bi API to get report in a group as admin that would show the last modified date and modified by. You can't get the trigger but you can query that to check it daily.

I hope that helps,

well, in case I am the only admin and I changed the report in Powerbi desktop and republished it, will this override the alerts I set on the previous version?
