Determine Owners and Editors of a report in the Power BI Online Service

Where you have a workspace with multiple contributors, is it possible to determine which user created a particular report? Similarly, is it possble to determine who last edited a particular report?
There does not seem to be an easy-to-access "created by" or "last edited by" attribute for a given report.

How does tracking edits work in the service?

Hi @EvanYates ,

 

You can view the creator of the report in the Owner column.

As far as I know, there is currently no such property as "modified by" in PowerBI. If you are the tenant administrator, you can use PowerShell or RestAPI to get report logs to view report activity.

Get-PowerBIActivityEvent (MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Admin) | Microsoft Learn

Admin - Get Activity Events - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn

 

Another method is to use the Audit logs tool to view report activity.
