Are you tired of manually updating contact info on Power BI reports? Vote now if you want a solution to automate these changes programmatically!

Imagine a tool that effortlessly updates contact details across all reports, ensuring access requests reach the right person instantly. 


We have identified that the current process, which relies on a single developer as the point of contact for all access requests to published reports, is leading to delays and inefficiencies.

To address this issue, we are exploring the possibility of programmatically adding our BI Developer Group as a contact on the report level for all published reports. 

But unfortunately, Power BI does not directly support changing contact information at the report level through the REST API.

We aim to develop a custom solution that leverages Power BI's API to dynamically add our BI Developer group as a contact to all published reports.

We'd love your thoughts and ideas on how to make this happen. Your input is super helpful!


Thank you in advance for your contributions!
