What is "Unnamed User" ?

Hy,

 

I have shared reports with some groups inside my organization and I want to see the users metrics.  When I go to metrics I get many "Unnamed User". What does it mean? 

 

Thanks for your time

Ricardo

further findings, some UserGUIDs in the usage metrics are not found in AAD. That's the reason unnamed user are displayed. Why some user's GUID is not tracking correctly? In my testing, there is a report in a user's my work space, and never shared to others. In the metric report, the userGUID is not his account GUID in AAD, why?

More findings, I found a post related to this issue, https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Service/usage-metrics-custom-logic-with-live-connection-to-SSAS-tab...

 

In this post, it mentioned As most of the users are from Europe region, due to new privacy act, it just clubs all data into "Unnamed user" category. I wonder if this is correct. As in my report, I can see lots of European users name in the list.

I have the same issue. Some of users are shown as real name, but most of them are shown as unnamed user. All reports are viewed after login

Hi @RicardoAlves,

 

Seems fine here. Can you share some snapshots? How many users like this?

 

Best Regards,

Dale
