I would like to access the Audit Log details related to Power BI services such as dataset details, count of datasets, number of users, active user details etc, using Power Shell scripts. While i explored i found the possible way to achieve this functionality is through Exchange Online. But i dont have privileges to execute Exchange Online cmdlets. Can you please help me, is there any alternate way to achieve this one.
