Enable PowerBI auditing through PowerShell

[Robert_Luck]

I can enable the auditing for Power BI through the web interface. But I wanted to do this via PowerShell.  Can anyone help me with this?

Hi @Robert_Luck,

Based on my research, we need to enable Power BI audit log feature in Power BI admin portal, Powershell isn't supported. After this feature enabled, we can use Powershell to retrieve log information. For more information, see:

Hi @v-qiuyu-msft,

I am aware of retrieving audit log using PowerShell. Currently, I need a way to enable PowerBI auditing through PowerShell / REST API.

Hi @Robert_Luck,

It's not supported, as Power BI doesn't expose this kind of API, see: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn877544.aspx

Thanks, @v-qiuyu-msft. I have requested the functionality in Power BI ideas portal.
