Enough detail is available to trust this assessment.
Assessment Reasoning
The feature rollout is complete, so the update is primarily informational. Admin impact involves checking license prerequisites, confirming analyst roles, and ensuring analysts have the right Power BI version, but no mandatory tenant configuration is required. User impact is low and limited to analyst users adopting a new reporting option. Urgency is low as the rollout is done and requires only awareness and minor readiness steps.
