Improvements
- Days without access filter in Users and Reports: the Users and Reports screens of the Administration Portal gained an access filter, where you enter a number of days and see the users or reports with no access in that period. This helps identify inactive accounts and reports that are not being used. See the documentation
- Application key expiration alert: the Administration Portal now shows, on the home page and in the organization settings, a warning about the expiration of the access key (secret) of the application used to connect to Power BI. You can renew the key before reports stop opening. See the documentation

Improvements
- Group filter in Users and Reports: the Users and Reports screens of the Administration Portal gained a group filter, to quickly find the users and reports linked to a specific group. See the documentation
- Hide top bar items when embedding the report: the visualization portal parameters gained options to hide the user's email and the user menu buttons in the navigation bar when the report is embedded in your application. The screen is cleaner and better integrated with your system. See the documentation

New features
- Dynamic filtering (API): when showing Power BI reports in your system through the API, you can now configure, on the dataset, which values sent in the API call filter each table and column of the model. The report opens already filtered for the context of whoever is accessing it. See the documentation

Improvements
- Security reinforcement: the portal received updated libraries and new browser security headers, which protect against attacks such as improperly embedding Power Embedded pages in other sites.

New features
- Global blocks: in Settings › Parameters, administrators can now define default permissions for users, reports and the portal interface. These global permissions take precedence over those defined on each user's record, making it easier to standardize the environment and keep it secure without configuring user by user.

Improvements
- Folder icons and thumbnails for the dark theme: when registering folders, you can now upload an alternative icon and thumbnail for the dark theme. The Reports Portal automatically uses the version that matches the theme chosen by the user. See the documentation
October 4, 2024
New features
- Zoom options in reports: the reports' View menu gained the Zoom in, Zoom out and Custom zoom options, to get a closer look at details or a wider view of the content.
Improvements
- Change a user's password through the API: the Power Embedded API gained a route to change a user's password, useful if you automate user management from your own system. See the documentation
