Keeping up with your Power BI Tenant Administration
summary
Explains concrete steps to tame a Power BI tenant: use Get-PowerBIActivityEvent via PowerShell to pull the 30 day activity log, export CSVs into a database for long term auditing, build an artifact inventory of reports and datasets through the admin APIs, and enforce tenant settings scoped to mail-enabled security groups. Limit custom visuals to certified ones, restrict personal gateways, inventory gateway installs, detect unpaid Premium Per User trials by correlating activity log, workspaces and licenses, and set simple dashboard alerts while automating extraction scripts for ongoing monitoring.
