Report Owner

[PBInewbie21]

Hi,

We have many developes who creates Power BI reports and publishes on a Workspace.

As an admin I want to find out who has published it. Is there a way to find out who has created it?

Also, There is a Owner column on Online, it shows workspace name in it. what is the purpose of that column?

Hi @PBInewbie21 ,

You can see the Owner in the "Contact" information for each report in the top middle of the screen like this:

That is manual and is time consuming, perhaps there is an API that you can use:

I would appreciate Kudos if my response was helpful. I would also appreciate it if you would Mark this As a Solution if it solved the problem. Thanks!

Getting contact information from an embedded report is difficult because the title bar is invisible. I found a workaround in this article here that helped me identify the owner of a report.

let
SourceMaterial = PowerBIRESTAPI.Navigation(),
Admin = SourceMaterial{[Key="Admin"]}[Data],
GroupUsersAsAdmin = Admin{[Key="GroupUsersAsAdmin"]}[Data]
in
GroupUsersAsAdmin

hi  @PBInewbie21 

Another way is that you could see it in auditing logs.

See more details in this same post:
