metrics reports not shareble, share icon is missing.

[detlev]

How come metrics reports are not shareable via the share icon? The share icon just is not visible, its missing in the menubar in the service.

This occurs with reportmetrics and dashboardmetrics.

It also happens with copies (save as) of the initially created report.

It also happens with deskop-created and service-published reports based on service metrics datasets.

HI @detlev,

I'd like to suggest you take a look at the limitations of usage metrics feature: (normally share feature has been disabled on usage metrics)

Monitor usage metrics for Power BI dashboards and reports#considerations-and-limitations

I have read it, I cant find your phrase "normally share feature has been disabled on usage metrics". Is it somewhere in the documentation?

HI @detlev,

It mentioned in the 4th of limitations options:

Sharing is disabled for the usage metrics report. To give people read access to the report, you first need to give them access to the workspace.

Hi @detlev ,

I agree with you that the Share doesn't exist.  Perhaps you can create an idea and let us know the link so we can vote on it?  I was able to use the "Share to Teams" link though and that created a link in my Teams team and then I can use that URL.   Not ideal, but, it appears to be the way that this currently works.

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!
