    If you have an app then you shouldn't share via the workspace anyway (it should be reserved for UAT).

    I would second Ibendlin’s comment that best practice is to only share via the workspace app.

     

    I would also suggest looking into the Power BI REST API to pull usage data.  You can build much more functional and granular reports with the data in the api.  

     

    Please mark this post as solution if it helps you. Appreciate Kudos.
