Deployment Automation 

script on my desktop that collects the Parameters for a target dataset, grabs the .pbix and uploads, restores the Parameters, and kicks off a refresh. Works great and that is the good news. The not so good news is that only the dataset manager (the person who set it up or took it over) can make adjustments to it, and I cannot get the service principal to take over the dataset... meaning that I need to use a real credential to do the work. If we were to use this for Octo we would need to setup a "normal" user without MFA to deploy.

Discussion 

reviewed the PBI user metric report talked about enhancements

  • Joshua Munsch (Unlicensed) suggested Add phone vs PC or some dimension on the type of browser or if it is embedded access
  • Remove sa user ids from the report (these are for testing)
  • Adam Sottosanti (Deactivated) suggested Add an activity Group where activities are grouped by Administrative (like publish report) or user (like view report)  Adam Sottosanti (Deactivated)has a csv that maps activities to groups.
  • Kara Nowell suggested Associate users to Roles, like analyst, developer, viewer .  This may be based on their active directory groups or if they have a pro vs free license.  
  • Ann Crawford (Unlicensed) would like to see user trends, new users per time period, total users per time period, total idol users per time period by user attributes like department, user name, etc.
