Managing Power BI subscriptions for Apps
Hi. Can you explain exactly what you need? I'm asking beacuse Apps don't have subscriptions. That's a feature for reports and dashboards. Everything else for apps can be modified by the admin of the workspace.
I hope that make sense,
Regards

Hi,
we do not distribute our reports through a workspace. We publish our reports by giving the colleagues access to an app. These apps are created in workspaces and we can decide which report in the workspace we want to include in this app. Publish an app in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
The user then has access to the app and also to the reports which we inlcuded to the app but not to the workspace itself. They can then subscribe the reports which are included in the app. For us these subscriptions are invisible.
Thanks in advance.

Apps have subscriptions when they are actually a dashboard. Some of ours are that way. The users go to apps and then click on the app and what they see is a dashboard. They are then able to subscribe like they could subscribe to a dashboard, but the subscription is not visible in the subscription page because they've technically subscribed to an app, apparently (at least that's how it appears in my tests). When the app is just a list of a reports, the subscribe button doesn't appear in the app.

Apps contain reports and dashboards.
You can SUBSCRIBE to any report or dashboard in an app.
The way apps are treated in Power BI behind the scenes seems very obscure. They are part of the workspace they came from, but they're also not, because you still have to "UPDATE APP" to push changes to an existing report or dashboard.
All I know is if there is a way for workspace admins to see existing subscriptions for workspaces, then they need it for apps EVEN MORE!
Here's the related idea:
