Extend the email subscription feature, currently in public preview, to enable subscribing *others* to email snapshots of reports.

More information about the existing email subscriptions feature can be found here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/introducing-email-subscriptions-in-power-bi-stay-informed-when-it-matters/preview/

Please make sure that the subscriptions include the underlying data as an option... internal audit always wants us to keep a copy for point in time dashboards at month end.

Definitely need this...bonus points if you can allow the administrator of the report to set up custom filters for different user groups!

This feature is necessary as C-Level want to havean email with a quick snapshot of the current situation. They do not want the hassle to login and subsribe to certain dashborad. Hence when will this be available???

Could definitely be a useful feature if the owner of the report could subscribe others to email notifications, less hassle for the end users.

RE: Subscribe *others* to emails of reports

This lack of feature is really important. It is very important that people to be subscribed by their departments to reports the *should* receive daily or weekly

RE: Subscribe *others* to emails of reports

Any update - this feature request has one of the highest number of votes without a status tag associated with it - "under review", "planned"... "started"

RE: Subscribe *others* to emails of reports

A colleague was able to subscribe to a report, but what she got was a screenshot that is a poor substitute for a PDF and borders on useless. Is the screenshot all that's expected when this is fixed?
