We have two tenants because someone thought it would be a good idea to keep PowerBI stuff separate from our normal O365 Tenant. That decision predates my time with the company, so I don't know why it was done. It's just something I have to live with and support. For the sake of this post, lets call the tenants abc.com for the normal O365, and ABCpowerBI.onmicrosoft.com for the PowerBI stuff.
Our PowerBI team does scheduled daily data set refreshes, and wants to set up notifications via email to be notified if the refresh fails.
My Developer, JoeBlow, has a normal O365 tenant email of JoeBlow@abc.com, and a PowerBI username of JoeBlow@abcpowerbi.onmicrosoft.com
Joe sets up the refresh, enters his JoeBlow@abc.com email address and it won't take it. If he just types JoeBlow it will resolve to his JoeBLow@ABCPowerBI.onmicrosoft.com username in that "Enter email address" field. Seems weird since it specifically asks for an email address, yet only lets you resolve that to a username in that tenant.
My first thought was to go into the users account in Azure AD, and set an email address ofJoeBlow@ABC.com on Joe's account. Problem is that there is no email address field in their profile to make that entry. Their username is in the form of an email, but its an onmicrosft address and not a valid email.
So my question is: How do I make those notifications send to Joe's real email address? Is that even possible?? Ideally...these would go to a distro group, not a single user, but...baby steps. :)
