When scheduling a dataset refresh there should be an option to send the failure to someone other than the person that created the scheduled refresh, eg the support email box.

This is a much needed enhancement. Makes no sense that PowerBI cannot do this.

Operationally, this is a 'must have'. Support organizations are rarely one person and the author is often commissioned to create the report.

This requirement is very critical in terms of operations perspective. The reason being the dataset developer or owner might leave the organization at any team and this creates a havoc once his account gets terminated in AD.

Also, super users or members marked as admins of the dataset should have ability to subscribe for the 'alerts's.

This is a key feuture thats really important for our business.
If someone shares a report from a group to other people and the owner is sick or on vacation, nobody would recognize a failed data refresh.

To setup a custom mail or distribution list is very important!
