Hi po,

 

for the types of properties you mention you'll need to query the Power BI Activity Log. You can also use PowerShell to get information from there.

 

Please do be aware of the Activity log requirements:

  • You must either be a global admin or a Power BI service admin.
  • You have installed the Power BI Management cmdlets locally or use the Power BI Management cmdlets in Azure Cloud Shell.

For example, you can use the following activities:

  • CreateReport 
  • DeleteReport
  • EditReport
  • ExportReport
  • DownloadReport
  • PrintReport
  • ShareReport
  • ViewReport

    Thanks for link - do you/anyone have example of powershell which looks to see who has viwed which report?

     

    Guess many people have alreday written such powershell commmands - new to powershell.

      Correct, the Activity logs are (for now) only for 30 days, it might be expanded to 90 days later when it goes out of preview.
      Instead, you could also query the O365 Audit log directly, but for that you need to be a Global Admin I think. The Activity log only requires the Power BI Admin role.
      If you look at the link of the Activity Log in my previous post, there are also examples in the docs:

        Thanks for update.

         

        Have read some artciles about just getting one day worth of actvivit ydata.

         

        Do you know of any plans to make a user interface available to view activity across the entire tenant in similar way that we can view activity across a workspace with built in usgae metrics report?
