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 basic requirement for management reporting on sensitive data. Power BI is limited to non-sensitive data streams without this functionality

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.
