    The usage statistics need to be accessible via the PowerBI REST API.
    1. GET all Dashboards, Datasets, etc. of all Users.
    2. GET Reports, Tiles and Datasets to a Dashboard.
    3. GET Users who use what Dashboard most.
    4. GET the most used Tiles in a Dashboard.
    5. GET the most active Users.

    Currently, building tenant-wide Power BI adoption metrics requires to export Audit log events, then to reimport them into a data set to analyse them. The process should be much simpler.

    Current existing API are providing some of the requests in this ideas.

    However I am missing one, critical for me and my users.
    Currently we can't get the users from other Workspace than the one user we are connected with using the Powershell Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod.
    Strangely we can access datasets for any Workspace.
    I am speaking of a context of a PowerBI Admin.

    I'd like to add to this. Get inactive users with pro license and provide content pack for this
