Provide analysis of how our Power BI dashboards/reports are being used:

Hit count, Q&A queries ran, filters applied, common actions etc.

This would allow us to track the importance and use of our reporting and see how different users interact with the data.

Can we make the Usage Statistics available to non-admins?

RE: Power BI usage statistics

How can we view these in a chart? Is it possible to create a PowerBI dashboard that gets automatically updated?

RE: Power BI usage statistics

Any update on usage statistics for content owners/creators? I'm in the dark about how many users are hitting my reports because I am not an IT admin. Really need these stats!

RE: Power BI usage statistics

Would like to see this for content owners and creators. No true Business intelligence tool can be 100% useful if we cannot follow our users and the effectiveness of our content.
