ALL user activities in Power BI should be logged for auditing purposes, including datasets accessed, reports/dashboards accessed, and especially data exports performed. The audit data should be accessible as a dataset to build reports against as well as easily exportable / downloadable.

This is a huge challenge and should be implemented ASAP

Dear PBI Product Group, this is excellent news. Reporting UI should be user friendly. Would want to avoid rework by writing power shell scripts. Ability to have modular reports generated. Also see if compliance metrics in terms of PBI license usage and activation can be added. Reporting to segregated PBI Freemium and Pro.

Thanks Amanda - Given the sensitivity of BI data coupled with the general reluctance of firms to use cloud platforms; Microsoft would do itself well if it thought like an Auditor of a highly regulated company w/ respect to PowerBi execution/audit logs & AzureAD authentication audit logs (as well). The Security & Compliance Center (O 365) should be just as functional for PowerBi as it is for OneDrive 4 Biz.

'@Amanda That's not good enough! We need non-admin views for content creators.

This is a must feature! If POwerBI is to make it iinto Corporate scenarios, one key aspect is compliance and monitoring, therefore it is really important to have the equivalent in PowerBI , to the ExecutionLog3 from Reporting Services

I agree. Especially when implementing Power BI in a large enterprise. You need to know what your uptake is like. The power of Self-Serve BI is in it's ability to be flexible. If you can't tune your presentation to what the end users want to consume, it's no better than SAP BW.
