    Hi  JohnyB 

    Once permissions are granted, the minimum setup required is:

     

    • Create a Deployment Pipeline (a blank pipeline is sufficient for testing).
    • Assign one workspace to the Development stage only.
    • Ensure you have Pipeline Admin permission,Workspace Admin permission on the linked workspace.

Hi,

 

Right now, Power BI does not offer a built-in “auto-update app” option. Whenever you update a report or dataset, the workspace gets updated automatically, but the Power BI App itself will only update when you manually publish it again. However, you can automate this using the Power BI REST API.

The good news is that you can fully automate your dataset refreshes, dataflows, and workspace deployments through Power Automate, Databricks notebooks, or Deployment Pipelines. All of these help keep your data and workspace content fresh — but they do not automatically publish the app for your users.
