Power BI Logs For User Activities
Hi Everyone,
Currently I don't have PBI admin access, but I need to list how to use PBI logs and what information the logs show.
from Google, I've found there are 2 main logs which are Activity logs and Audit logs. not sure where to find the complete list
of logs. hope you guys can help me on
1. What logs are the PBI administrator most commonly/frequently used?
2. Does Administrator uses admin portal to view user activites or via logs?
3. How do I check if a user downloaded a dataset/report? is it captured in any logs?
Your help is much appreciated.

powerbi_rh So you probably want to start here: https://security.microsoft.com/cloudapps/activity-log?
You can export the data. Or here: Audit - Microsoft Purview
Here is a good article about choosing between the two: Track user activities in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
Also, here is one on exporting data. Export Power BI Audit log in a few Simple Steps with No Code - RADACAD
