Right now we're only able to tell the list of users of each App. But we aren't able to tell who has access to the Audiences.


There might be sensitivie reports that aren't shared in some audiences. It might be important to know who has access to them and be able to create exception reports or alerts.

This is indeed a very important feature that is missing today. With the new feature of audience we will use the same app to share / distribute multiple reports to different groups of users. As so , knowing who has access to an app is only usefull if we can distribute those users to the respective audiences.We will be glad to have this featureThanks,

As you know starting on May 1, 2024 old version of apps will no longer receive technical support. In order to manage access to apps we use REST API. We have many apps on Power BI Service as old as new with different target groups and audiences per app. We need to check an audience and users inside of each one like we do that with old apps. Using AD Groups do not cover all our business needs. It is really painful process to support user access to new apps without REST API for now.

Audience visibility would definitely give a more in-depth view on the authorizations each member in the company has in terms of what type of information they have access to as access to a workspace app could mean many different things in terms of what info users are actually seeing.

With the Audiences feature moving into GA we very much need an API ability to surface information about which users with app access are in which Audience, and which of the reports/dashboards in the app that audience gives them access to. Preferably not restricted to the Scanner API, so that it can be retrieved as a one-off query.

Ability to grant access to audiences via API is a critical feature for adoption in our large organization. In addition, it would be helpful to be able to query the members of each audience for auditing purposes. Bonus feature would be the ability to use an API call to add a report to an audience.

Couldn't agree more. Knowing who has access to the app doesn't tell us which users can access which reports/dashboards in it.

We'd like to know the reports and users inside of each Audience
