Question

You manage a semantic model in a Power BI workspace that refreshes on a schedule twice daily. The dataset owner recently left the company, and you want the data engineering distribution list (dataeng@contoso.com) to receive an email whenever a scheduled refresh fails, without granting them workspace access. What should you configure?

Accepted Answer

In the semantic model's Scheduled refresh settings, enable refresh failure notifications and add dataeng@contoso.com under 'Send notifications to these contacts'.

Answer

Add dataeng@contoso.com as a Viewer in the workspace so they can monitor the refresh history.

Answer

Create a report subscription for dataeng@contoso.com that emails a snapshot after each refresh.

Answer

Set up a data alert on a dashboard tile that triggers when the refresh status changes.
