Thanks. I receive the following error message when I try to edit my group, though:

Okay, I'm no longer receiving an error when I edit the group - but I don't see a group email address anywhere. Am I looking in the wrong place? If this is not in the Edit Group page, then where will I find it?

    Replying to myself:

     

    It would appear I need Office 365 to manage a Power BI group. Is this right? I thought Power BI 2 was separate from 365... Do I really need 365 to enable the group functionality in Power BI?

      From Power BI when you mouse over the Members, you will see the group alias at the bottom. You can also click 'Members' and it will take you to the Groups home page and you can get the alias.

       

      If you are a Power BI Pro feature, you get Groups automatically.

        meysun - thanks, but as I don't have 365, the only group menu options are Edit Group and Leave Group:

        Group Menu (non-365)

         

        This is disappointing, as I initially believed we would be able to access the full functionality of Power BI 2 without Office 365...
