Hello,
We are trying to track user activities in Power BI using the API, so fare we manage to get answers, but there are clearly misisng informations, does anymone has any idea why ?
For example, here is the Report Usage Metrics of 1 of the reports, we can see that there are 3 viewers for a total of 26 views :
But the API, on the same date, just gives 1 answer, and it is not even the same user...
Solved! Go to Solution.
HI @SamDecideom ,
The API is using the credentials of the person running (or who setup the API report). To see "everything" the userid running the API report needs to be an admin in the Workspaces(s) being called.
