Note

Known Power BI limitations (limited by Microsoft)

  • Power BI API is currently rate limited. This may impact extracts where you have 200+ workspaces or groups. Some Power BI reports may fail to extract correctly and may their details may not be profiled.

  • Power BI datasets using large dataset storage format cannot be profiled.

  • Power BI reports created in web browser (not uploaded from desktop) cannot be profiled for detailed lineage. Dataset lineage will be available.

  • Power BI dashboards in Apps are not able to be linked to their Power BI dashboard.

Known KADA Power BI integration limitations (to be resolved in upcoming releases)

  • Power BI currently only supports lineage to Snowflake, SQL Server and Oracle.Power BI reports that use inbuilt fields report measures cannot be profiled for detailed lineage.

  • Power BI reports created in web browser missing dataset lineage.Power BI access does not consider direct grants to users. Access is only detected for users via AD groups. Power BI data flows are not currently included in the metadata extracted.

Step 1) Enabling PowerBI Admin APIs to be accessible to an AD Group

...

  • Set Allow Service Principals to use read-only Power BI admin APIs to Enabled

    • Select Specific Security Groups

      • Add the AD group (K PowerBI AD Group) that is appropriate for managing this access. This is typically the Admin group for Power BI. If no appropriate group exists, contact your Azure AD admin to create a new security group.

  • [Required for Power BI detailed lineage] Set Enhance admin API responses with detailed metadata to Enabled

    • Add the same AD group (e.g. K PowerBI AD Group) as the previous API Settings option

...

  • Set Enhance admin APIs responses with DAX and mashup expressions to Enabled

    • Add the same AD group (e.g. K PowerBI AD Group)as the previous API Settings option

  • [Required for Power BI detailed lineage] Set Allow Service Principals to use Power BI APIs to Enabled

    • Select Specific Security Groups

      • Add the same AD group (e.g. K PowerBI AD Group) as the previous step

  • Set Download Reports to Enabled and apply to The entire organisation
