Apps & audiences

Every Power BI app in the tenant — including organizational apps — with audiences, 28-day consumption, contacts, and access details.

What you get

Apps tab — every Power BI app with audiences, 28-day consumption, contacts, and access details

Every Power BI app in the tenant — including organizational apps — with the workspaces each app publishes from, the audiences defined inside each app, 28-day consumption data (opens), contact information, and the users/groups who can access each audience.

For each app you see:

  • Name — the app name
  • Workspace — which workspace the app publishes from
  • Audiences — the audience groups defined inside the app
  • Opens (28 days) — how many times the app was opened in the last 28 days
  • Contacts — the app’s listed contact information
  • Users/groups — who can access each audience

Run the analysis

  1. Run a tenant-wide scan — the Apps tab populates automatically after Phase 1.
  2. Switch to the Apps tab.
  3. Expand any app to see its audiences and access details.

Common workflows

  • App adoption review. Sort by 28-day opens to find apps with zero or near-zero usage. These may be candidates for retirement — especially if they’re publishing from Premium capacity that costs money.
  • License-compliance audit. Review who can access each app and through which audience. Cross-reference with your license assignments to verify that only licensed users are consuming Pro or Premium content.
  • Find organizational apps. Organizational apps are visible to the entire organization by default. Review which ones exist and whether their content is still relevant — stale org apps create confusion.
  • Audience hygiene. Check whether audiences are using security groups (easy to manage) or individual users (hard to maintain). Flag apps with many individual user assignments for cleanup.

What to do with the findings

  • Export to Excel — click Export in the toolbar to export the full app inventory to Excel for license audits or adoption reviews.
  • Export as JSON — paid editions can also export as raw JSON for integration with governance dashboards or access-review workflows.
  • Share the .measurekiller file — hand the scan to a colleague who can browse app details without re-running the scan.
