In the usage metrics for dashboards and reports, show the names and/or email addresses of the end users.
FYI: The current usage metrics feature is documented here:

RE: Show email address or user name in usage metrics for dashboards and reports
You can get to this if you turn on auditing in power bi within the tenant setting, but it's very awkward to get to. I agree that without username it's difficult to have a sensible conversation to promote usage of a report.
RE: Show email address or user name in usage metrics for dashboards and reports
Yes, it will be really nice to track the user names on usage report. With that we can find the target groups we shall push them more into Pbi.
RE: Show email address or user name in usage metrics for dashboards and reports
Good start. Without user name this feature is not much useful.
RE: Show email address or user name in usage metrics for dashboards and reports
Yes, very important to justify the expense and time commitment required to implement Power BI.
RE: Show email address or user name in usage metrics for dashboards and reports
Definitely required to see who's not using the system. Please review
RE: Show email address or user name in usage metrics for dashboards and reports
Need to see username for this to be really valuable.
RE: Show email address or user name in usage metrics for dashboards and reports
Agree with other comments, we need to at least see who our top users are before we can begin getting real value from this otherwise awesome new feature!
RE: Show email address or user name in usage metrics for dashboards and reports
Awesome start, but names are imperative ...
RE: Show email address or user name in usage metrics for dashboards and reports
User Name preferred
RE: Show email address or user name in usage metrics for dashboards and reports
It's great to be able to see the volume of views (and perhaps a little disappointing when the numbers aren't all you would expect.) From a business perspective, however, I need to know where it's being used and where it's not. Knowing that can help identify training needs, and it can also allow us as administrators to prompt people to review what they're supposed to review.
