Usage report across entire tenant - REST API

Hello,

 

I'm thinking of using powershell to create the users activity reports via REST API. Does that mean I have to be the admin in power shell?

 

I'm admin in PBI, but not in powershell.

 

Thanks.

Hi @ROG ,

 

REST APIs with PowerShell provides great flexibility in the automation. You don’t need to bother about app registration and access token generation, considering it is a bit hard and a big process. Power BI provides PowerShell cmdlets to directly call Power BI REST APIs. You have options to select activities by activity type or user ID. You must specify a start date and end date. Check out Get-PowerBIActivityEvent cmdlet for sample code and other information.

Note: You must either be a global admin or a Power BI service admin to access the Power BI activity log.

 

Best Regards,

Jianbo Li
