As an IT administrator I need a way to see all content (datasets, reports, dashboards) that has been created and shared across the entire online tenant. This is needed to be able to support content after employees leave the organization as well as to support our SOX auditing practices.

RE: Power BI Global Admin
Although Power BI is a great tool, I am surprised this is not available yet! Power Bi Admin should be able to view/manage all the organization items. For the audit part, providing o365 global admin right is an overkill.
Hopefully you guys will ship this soon into power bi service :)
RE: Power BI Global Admin
HI Charles, do you have an ETA for this one?
RE: Power BI Global Admin
There is a big need in our organisation for this type of reporting. Currently we are interrogating the Audit Logs to build a view but we are picking up discrepancies in the data.
A trusted dataset provided by Microsoft in the Power BI Service would help alot.
RE: Power BI Global Admin
I'd like to put in my support for this feature -- exactly as worded above. I'd like admins to be able to see all content created by any user. It could be as simple as allowing an admin to impersonate a user to see their work space. Ideally view only unless the admin wants to take ownership of an object. Have it all logged, including admins using the impersonate/view privs to snoop so it is all above board.
RE: Power BI Global Admin
Hi, this idea is under review for a while now, can you please give a status update?
This item is very important for us and all larger companies that must comply with legal goverment rules.
Our IT department must be able to control all the Power BI data sets, reports, etc. We need to know who is the owner, what data is involved, we must be able to move the objects from one user or group to another, be able to delete them, see what the security settings are, etc. We must be in total control of the Power BI objects in the tenant.
This is not only the case for Power BI, but also voor all Office 365 objects in Onedrive locations, sharepoint sites, etc.
Without this control for IT departments, Office 365 will never be adapted by the larger companies, because we must comply with our security rules.
At the moment, we only use Office 365 for a few Power BI users and retrieve data via the on premises data gateway.
We are unable to rollout office 365 any further than this, because we are unable to manage and be in control of the objects in our tenant.
Please raise de priority of this item, thanks!
RE: Power BI Global Admin
We are a large company and we realy do need to know who created datasets, reports and dashboard, what are the sizes, what is the security, etc. This is a must have for larger companies!
RE: Power BI Global Admin
The Power BI Admin has to be able to access all datasets because of the 200 dataset limit. I have created 80 datasets but the total use count in the Admin Portal is 122. I have no way of knowing who has created the other 40 nor do I have a way to manage them. This will become a critical issue as we add more datasets and have to remove old & unused ones.
RE: Power BI Global Admin
Needs to be possible to admin Power BI without grant of full O365 admin access.
RE: Power BI Global Admin
I agree that this would be a great feature.
more so if the following feature was implemented in the admin interface:
- Ability to define global styling templates for the end-user
-- This will greatly improve Tool standardization across larger businesses, thereby avoiding confusion regarding look and feel, and enabling universal training of users.
RE: Power BI Global Admin
This would be a great feature. We need PowerBI admin rights for people who may not necessarily be Office 365 admins.
In a lot of companies, the people managing the data, insights and BI will not be in charge ot IT.
