Building a Power BI Admin View using Power BI APIs

We just completed an amazing webinar from Parker Stevens over at https://bielite.com/ . In this webinar, Parker walks us through how to connect to the Power BI Admin APIs. The Admin API contains a wealth of knowledge for all activity within your Power BI tenant.

While there is a good amount of reporting built into the Power BI admin page, you may need more. This is why you would use the Admin APIs to gather all the activity data from within your Power BI. For more information, learn about the Power BI Admin Portal.

Parker takes us through a deep dive connecting to the Power BI admin apis and shows us how to build a robust dataset ready for Admins to produce the reporting they need.

Power BI Desktop Bridge – Ep.552

Desktop Bridge gives agents a local server to drive Power BI Desktop — reload files, check report state, and take screenshots so the agent can verify its own work. Mike and Tommy agree on the prerequisite: don't use it without skills.
