Not specified users in Usage Metrics report
When in Teams I send a link to Power Bi report and the user open the report by clicking on this link, then user is visible as a viewers in Usage Metrics report. The isuue of tracking comes when users use pinned Power BI app button in MS Teams as a way to access to Power Bi reports shared to them:
When users access Power BI reports through the pinned Power BI app button in Microsoft Teams, they may not be automatically tracked as viewers in the Usage Metrics report. This is because accessing the report through the pinned app button may not generate a click on the report link that is necessary for tracking.
To track usage for Power BI reports accessed through the pinned app button, you can use Power BI's audit logs feature. This feature allows you to track user activity within Power BI, including when users access and interact with reports. To access audit logs, you will need to have administrator or member access to your organization's Power BI workspace.
Here's how to access audit logs in Power BI:
- Navigate to the Power BI workspace where your report is located.
- Click on the ellipsis (...) next to the workspace name and select "Audit logs".
- In the audit logs page, you can filter by user, report, date, and other parameters to see a record of user activity within Power BI.
By using audit logs, you can get a more complete picture of how users are accessing and interacting with your Power BI reports, even if they are not being tracked through the Usage Metrics report.
