CompletedShow email address or user name in usage metrics for dashboards and reports

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
Why do I need edit perms on the report to see the usage metrics?
The last thing I want is a support person with edit rights to my report, but I do want them to be able to understand or look at persona as described by the stats of the report.
RE: Show email address or user name in usage metrics for dashboards and reports
Hi, love this feature but wondering why my reports are showing "Unnamed User" as a user who's been viewing dashboards when all of my dashboards are protected and need a username and password with the relevant access to view it?
RE: Show email address or user name in usage metrics for dashboards and reports
Can we also see usernames emails outside your domain. ie external users? it just shows a blank when an external users views a dashboard!
RE: Show email address or user name in usage metrics for dashboards and reports
Hi, new user usage metrics are definitely a great feature!
Can we use them also with PBI Embedded (case of App Tokens) - there is an optional claim of 'username' to be used with RLS ? (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/power-bi-embedded/power-bi-embedded-app-token-flow)
It would be great to obtain user statistics even if we register with the Master app account?
Thanks, Dimitar
RE: Show email address or user name in usage metrics for dashboards and reports
The current usage metrics is beautiful but totally useless to the users. most frequent questions we get from management are: who (specific persons) accessed the reports/ dashboards and how many times specific user (by name) has accessed the same.
Also what are the popular dashboards and useless dashboards that we PROS have created. Dashboards by Name again.
I don't think I can answer by telling 5 users accessed of which 2 are unique; Rank is X for this dashboard and get away.
Please improve the usage metrics reports
RE: Show email address or user name in usage metrics for dashboards and reports
Good morning, is there any progress with this item? Seems to be pretty straightforward compared to other ones recently implemented.
RE: Show email address or user name in usage metrics for dashboards and reports
We need this. The who. The when and the count is great, but with no supporting detail, it does not get us home.
RE: Show email address or user name in usage metrics for dashboards and reports
Will be very useful with this information.
RE: Show email address or user name in usage metrics for dashboards and reports
Usage statistics as it is now is close to useless. Need to know who has been using it.
RE: Show email address or user name in usage metrics for dashboards and reports
Does this idea include to provide the number of times a specific user has viewed a report?
