Email Subscriptions to PowerBI reports

[JimmyCeron_PBI1]

Hello,

 I have hundreds of subscriptions to PowerBI reports set up by an owner that is leaving the company. Does this means I will have to create all those subscriptions all over again under the new ownership? It seems very impractical that Microsoft wouldn't think about this situation becasue I have  looking for a solution, and I don't seem to find any feasible solution.

I am only able to see the subscriptions I have created, but how do I manage subscriptions crteated by other owners when they are in  PTO or leave the company?

Thanks in advance for any advice : )

No, unfortunately I have not been able to implement it just yet because I am waiting for my company to get a license for the service account where I will be pouring all my subscriptions.

But I have tested the API already and it is a great solution.

Thanks so much.

Yes, from now on, we are going to move all subscriptions to a service account, but I want to avoid having to create all those subscriptions all over again in that account. 

I will check out the link you sent.

Thanks for your prompt response : )

Hello, 

So this API service you provided, is it a free tool, or do I sign up or download it? I can see that this would be a good solution for me.  Could you elaborate please?

Thank you.

Yes its Open Source so you can register and use for now. Also if someone knows .net coding, you may ask to code this same on your local using power BI Rest API from scratch.

Awesome!!

I will use this for now since I need an urgent solution!😀

Thanks so much for all the help! ; )

This can be done via Rest API, Get list of all subscriptions and then Create them with API altogether.  This may need someone with Rest API coding knowledge :

Also as a best practice if you create subscriptions for your users please use a service account/ master account to create those rather than individual.
