PowerBI userprofile images

Question

Hi all,&nbsp;I've connected to the&nbsp;User Information List to get data about users. I'm trying to display the profile picture in PowerBI Desktop but it's only displaying as a broken image.&nbsp;Is there a security setting or some configuration that needs to be updated to get this displaying. I'm using the sam account across the board and can view the images when browsing through IE.&nbsp;Thanks,&nbsp;Will

Mmm...I don't think you can get the user profile picture for the user information list...the user profile picture is managed by user profiles service and should be there

Hi Juan,&nbsp;I can get the image URL but the picture doesn't display, I guess I will need to locate it from elsewhere.&nbsp;Regards,&nbsp;Will

Richard Thomas Greenwood&nbsp;I am another year late on this too.&nbsp; Same issue.&nbsp; I get broken links, but if I paste the URL in a browser it works.

Same issue ... URLs are valid and exist but seems like PowerBI doesn't have security access to retrieve and display them&nbsp;blm001 😞&nbsp;
