Be able to create email subscriptions for the PBIX reports in the Report Server

We’d hoped we’d have a good way to bring this functionality to the server – however, similarly to Export to PDF, after a lengthy evaluation of all the options and required investments, we’re not planning to bring this feature to the server at this time.

Our organization needs to replace our old SSRS solution but absence of this feature is preventing us from doing so. In many cases we need to push data to users and not depend upon them to pull it.

This request has been posted for almost a year, and Microsoft still has not implemented subscriptions of any kind in Power BI Report Server. This is ridiculous! The feature is available in SSRS, and we are told the PBIRS is built on the SSRS engine. Clearly, PBIRS is not the enterprise-level solution that it is touted to be. Let's move this from backlog to a sprint, Microsoft!

This needs to be on Report Server. Key feature.

I'd fully support this being a feature in Report Server. I deliver services for Government who, in the main, want to keep this on prem.

RE: Email subscriptions for Power BI reports in Report Server

So I think this is an important feature but... with Power BI mobile and Report Server and the amount of time users spend on their devices I can understand why this is backlogged. If you have not implemented Power Bi Mobile and report server I recommend it to everyone on this thread. We are all on prem and has successfully deployed both solutions.

Its an important feature, some customer not interested on this tool due to this feature is not available. Because they want everything on-premises.
