I know this idea was recently (April 2019) shot down by Microsoft, even with over 2,000 votes in favor of it, but I'm bringing it up again. The simple fact is, we are bound by regulations that keep us from using the cloud service, so the on-premise Power BI Report Server is our only option for widespread report distribution. Paginated reports on PBIRS can be subscribed to, which makes the inability to add Power BI reports to subscriptions even more frustrating. This lack of support severely limits our ability to grow acceptance for the platform. I ask that you please reconsider your decision.

I would like to have a personal dashboard that is hidden from everyone else on the same workspace where I can pin all my favorite and important visuals on that dashboard. Please look at this PBI team, we need to implement this functionality!

Another feature that I loved in SSRS and needs to be in place. As we move all of our older SSRS Reports to the new and shiny PowerBI.

Still one of the number one things that my company keeps on asking for, and no they don't want to bring the entire company of Power BI Cloud edition. I can't deliver because Microsoft does not deliver to it's community request.

This is a must-have feature. I have no idea why it should be a problem for Microsoft.

Its also quite confusing when the following Microsoft Site indicates that this functionality is available in Report Server

I agree, this functionality is desirable and it would be great if Microsoft could look at providing it for PBIRS
