Question

A governance team at Contoso must produce a monthly report showing which users viewed or downloaded a specific certified Power BI report hosted in a Fabric workspace, including exact timestamps and IP addresses. The Fabric Data Engineer needs to identify the correct source of this activity data and the role required to retrieve it. Which approach should be used?

Accepted Answer

Query the Microsoft Purview / Microsoft 365 unified audit log, which requires an Exchange Online audit role such as View-Only Audit Logs assigned to the retrieving account

Answer

Enable the workspace-level 'Usage metrics' report, which any workspace Member can open to see per-user view events with IP addresses

Answer

Assign the retrieving account the Fabric Admin role and read the OneLake diagnostic logs stored in the workspace's default lakehouse

Answer

Turn on Git integration for the workspace so that all report view and download events are committed to the connected repository
