Original Author - Track changes

Hey Friends,

I'm now doing some admin work for our App_Workspace.

We have a large number of people uploading into one workspace and it's getting pretty messy.

 

Is ther anyway to find out who the orginal author is for a report?

Or is there a spot where I can add meta data to a report and / or dataset to manually note who the owner is in the group?

 

Any help would be amazing. The task right now seems overwhelming without this.

Thanks!

    hi, Anonymous

    For an App workspace member/admin, you might not be  able to see who created the report and who made the last modification. If your account is marked as a Global Admin, within Office 365 or Azure Active Directory, or have been assigned the Power BI service administrator role,then, please locate to Admin Portal. You can use auditing logs.

     

    and here is a similar post for you refer to:

      Thanks for the help!

       

      I'm going to have to work back with our teams to get some of the functionality set up.

       

      I would say this definetly isn't ideal and it feels a bit cumbersome for admin, but it's a good first step :)

       

      Thanks again for the help!
