Object catalog

What Stacksync syncs in Microsoft Power Bi.

These objects are read from Microsoft Power Bi in real time and delivered into your connected systems, with field-level mapping. Custom fields are picked up from the live schema where Microsoft Power Bi exposes them.

Datasets (Semantic Models)
Tabular models behind reports; their rows are read with DAX via POST datasets/{id}/executeQueries, and datasource and refresh metadata via REST list endpoints.
Reports
Report definitions and metadata read via GET /reports and per-workspace GET /groups/{id}/reports; enumerated to mirror the content inventory into a catalog.
Dashboards and Tiles
Dashboards and their pinned tiles read via GET /dashboards and /dashboards/{id}/tiles; inventoried to map dashboard content back to its source datasets.
Dataflows
Power Query ETL definitions read via GET /groups/{id}/dataflows; used to document lineage from upstream sources into datasets.
Datasources and Gateways
The connections behind datasets and dataflows and the on-premises gateways serving them, read via REST for lineage and dependency mapping.
Refresh History
Dataset refresh runs read via GET /datasets/{id}/refreshes, including status, type, and timing, to alert on failed or slow scheduled refreshes.
Workspaces (Groups)
Containers for content read via GET /groups (tenant-wide via GET /admin/groups); mirrored to reproduce the tenant's content hierarchy in a catalog.
Activity Events (Audit Log)
Admin audit log of user and content actions read via GET /admin/activityevents; loaded for security, access, and usage reporting across the tenant.
Users and Access
Workspace users and roles read via GET /groups/{id}/users or the admin scanner APIs; read for access reviews and identity reconciliation against an IdP.
API surface

How Stacksync connects to Microsoft Power Bi.

The connector runs on Microsoft Power Bi's native API. Stacksync manages authentication, rate limits, retries, and schema changes so your team does not maintain integration code.

Connection
Power BI REST API, including the Execute Queries (DAX) endpoint and admin scanner APIs; a read-write XMLA endpoint is available on Premium, Premium-Per-User, and Fabric capacity.
Authentication
Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens. Supports delegated user tokens and app-only service principals; service principals must be enabled under the tenant's Developer settings and granted workspace access. Tenant-wide admin reads require the Tenant.Read.All scope.
Change detection
Pull-based: no webhooks or change-data-capture. Content is polled via REST list endpoints, dataset changes are inferred from Refresh History and the admin Activity Events audit log, and the scanner API's GetModifiedWorkspaces reports workspaces changed since a given time.
Rate limits
Endpoints throttle per user and per app and return HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Execute Queries allows up to 120 requests per minute per user and caps a query at 100,000 rows (or 1,000,000 values) and 15 MB; admin scanner metadata APIs are limited to about 500 requests per hour with 16 concurrent.

Use cases

What teams run on the Microsoft Power Bi connector.

Power BI is Microsoft's business-intelligence and dashboarding layer, owned by BI developers, analytics engineers, and Power BI or Fabric administrators. It is a presentation and governance surface, not a system of record: semantic models (datasets), reports, dashboards, dataflows, and their refresh history live in a Microsoft Entra ID tenant on top of warehouses and operational systems. Stacksync connects to Power BI as a source, reading dataset rows through the Execute Queries DAX endpoint plus content metadata and audit logs so other teams can catalog, report on, and monitor it downstream.

  • BI developers
  • Analytics engineers
  • Data platform teams
  • Power BI and Fabric administrators
  • Data governance leads

  1. Read dataset (semantic model) rows through the Execute Queries DAX endpoint into Postgres or Snowflake so governed Power BI measures join with other operational data in SQL.

  2. Mirror Workspaces, Reports, Dashboards, and Dataset metadata into a catalog database so teams discover Power BI content from a central index.

  3. Pull Dataflow and Datasource definitions to document lineage between Power BI and its upstream warehouses in a governance database.

  4. Load dataset Refresh History into an operational database to alert on-call teams when scheduled refreshes fail or run long.

  5. Sync admin Activity Events into a warehouse for tenant-wide security, access, and usage reporting.

  6. Read Users and workspace access for periodic access reviews reconciled against an HR or Microsoft Entra ID source of record.

FAQ

Microsoft Power Bi connector FAQ

What can I sync with the Microsoft Power Bi connector?

Microsoft Power Bi's core objects — Datasets (Semantic Models), Reports, Dashboards and Tiles, Dataflows and custom fields — can sync with any of 302 other systems. Microsoft Power Bi is a data source: Stacksync reads from it in real time and delivers into your systems of record, with field-level mapping.

How does Stacksync connect to Microsoft Power Bi?

Via Power BI REST API, including the Execute Queries (DAX) endpoint and admin scanner APIs; a read-write XMLA endpoint is available on Premium, Premium-Per-User, and Fabric capacity., authenticated with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens. Supports delegated user tokens and app-only service principals; service principals must be enabled under the tenant's Developer settings and granted workspace access. Tenant-wide admin reads require the Tenant.Read.All scope.. Changes are detected as follows — pull-based: no webhooks or change-data-capture. Content is polled via REST list endpoints, dataset changes are inferred from Refresh History and the admin Activity Events audit log, and the scanner API's GetModifiedWorkspaces reports workspaces changed since a given time.. Stacksync manages rate limits, retries, and schema changes automatically.

Is the Microsoft Power Bi connector two-way?

Microsoft Power Bi is primarily a read-only source: Stacksync pulls its data into your CRM, database, or warehouse in real time. Writes flow into the systems Microsoft Power Bi connects to, not back into Microsoft Power Bi.

How long does a Microsoft Power Bi integration take to set up?

Most Microsoft Power Bi integrations go live in minutes: authenticate Microsoft Power Bi and the other system, pick objects and fields, and enable the sync. No code and no infrastructure to manage.

Is Microsoft Power Bi data secure in transit?

Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR and HIPAA compliant. Microsoft Power Bi data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means records are not retained after a sync operation.
