April brought the monthly spending limit in dollars for Power Pilot and two-factor authentication configurable per group, with a new code at every login. The portal also started showing the next scheduled data refresh, let you reorder an application's reports by drag and drop and began sending emails about support tickets.

Improvements
- Reorder application reports by dragging: in the Reports tab of an application (Power BI › Applications), you can change the order of the reports simply by dragging and dropping each one into the desired position. See the documentation
- Clear message when exporting a report without an effective identity: when a report export fails because the model requires an effective identity (as in models with RLS) and none was provided, the portal now shows an explanatory, translated message instead of Power BI's technical text. See the documentation

New features
- Power Pilot spending limit: you can now set a monthly limit in dollars (USD) for Power Pilot's AI consumption. The limit can be configured for the organization, groups and users, on their respective registration screens. This lets you use AI with more predictability and no cost surprises.

Improvements
- Authentication methods in bulk user editing: the window for editing several users now includes authentication methods and other user settings, which can be applied to all selected users at once. See the documentation
- Service Principal object ID retrieved automatically: for those using Azure Analysis Services, Power Embedded now fetches the Service Principal object ID on its own when the organization is created or the Settings screen is saved. The field is no longer displayed, and you no longer need to look up this value in Azure. See the documentation
- Detailed error message when saving settings: when the Settings screen cannot be saved, the message now includes the original error returned by Microsoft, such as an application not found in the tenant. This helps you identify and fix the problem without needing support. See the documentation
April 9, 2025
New features
- Two-factor authentication per group: when creating or editing a group, you can enable two-factor authentication for members who sign in with email and password, without configuring it user by user. The setting is also respected when creating new users. See the documentation
Improvements
- Next refresh in the dataset history: the Refresh history window of a dataset (Power BI › Datasets) now shows when the next scheduled refresh will be. See the documentation
April 2, 2025
Improvements
- New verification code at every login: in two-factor authentication with email and password, the code sent by email is now generated again at each login attempt, instead of being repeated. This makes access more secure. See the documentation
April 1, 2025
Improvements
- Notification emails in the support system: the support ticket system now sends notification emails when a ticket is opened and when it receives a new comment. This way, you can follow the progress of your requests without logging into the portal. See the documentation
