Connect Power BI admin to PostHog to sync your data into the PostHog data warehouse for analysis and modeling.

Sync tenant-wide Power BI and Fabric governance data: the audit log of views, edits, exports and shares, plus the workspace, semantic model, report, dashboard, dataflow, and capacity inventories.

Create an Entra ID app registration, add a client secret, and put the app in a security group that is allowed to use the read-only admin APIs in the Fabric admin portal. The app must not have any admin-consent Power BI permissions set on it. Then enter the directory (tenant) ID, application (client) ID, and client secret below.

Power BI only serves activity events for the last 28 days, so the first sync starts there and everything after that builds up in your warehouse.
