I am a PBI free tier license user, normally I can publish my dashboard to web. But this morning I found in my Power BI service, some dashboards can be embed code and publish to public web, like this:
But some of the dashboards showing need to contact admin to do so:
I really have no idea why it is like that, both reports are in the same workspace, but one of them cannot be publishsed to web. Anyone can help please?

I haven't worked with Power BI's paginated reports but I'm trying to migrate from SQL Server to Azure SQL. Getting Power BI per-user licenses just for users to be able to generate a report PDF is prohibitively expensive for us.
Is it possible to use Power BI service API in a similar way to SSRS Report Server where you just make a request to generate the report and return the result?
We don't need to embed the paginated reports... just call the service API with the specified params and return the generated report (like SSRS Report Server).
Really hoping to use a single Premium license for the Azure Active Directory App Service registration to avoid needing to have a per-user license for every user that just needs to click a button and generate an invoice.
Essentially this, but with Power BI Paginated Reports: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/export-a-report-using-url-access?view=sql-server-ver16
I'm asking just to see if I'm wasting my time by digging further into this. Thanks in advance!
I need to do reporting for my client and are looking into Power BI. What I need to do, is create the report and publish it to the client's website for the public. These reports are public knowledge, there is no security risk to distribute it.
The users should be able to see the report on the website and use some filtering options that comes with Power BI.
I have installed Power BI Desktop (free option) and created the report, but I can not 'Save as' to Web - there is no such option.
My questions are:
Do I need a licence to be able to publish to the web.
Once published to the web, will it be displayed on the website to the users with the functionality to filter and drill down even if they do not have Power BI license?
You have two options - Publish to web and to use the API to embed for your customers (a.k.a. app owns data).
In both cases you must publish the report to Power BI Service. You will need an account for that, but even the free one will work for Publish to web case. However, it is way more limited that the actual embedding using the API.
To register an account, you will need a "business e-mail address", i.e. GMail, Outlook, etc. will not work. This is required, because it will create a tenant for this domain, where the administrators in your organization can manage it.
For Publish to web the administrator must explicitly enable that option in the admin portal. Embedding using the API require programming skills, and normally you will need to buy a "dedicated capacity" (i.e. Power BI Embedded or Power BI Premium).
My organization has bought Power BI licenses, Pro licenses for developers and Premium for standard user to view reports and dashboards.
Now it is my responsibility to configure these licenses so users can view developed reports.
Considering I have limited Power BI configuration experience I am stuck at the moment.
I have published my report and configured data gateway.
I am stuck at the point of sharing the report with other users.
When other users try to connect to Power BI cloud they get invalid password (all users the same)
Which made me think it is applying licenses to these users.
I am not sure how to do that and other resources such as this link
Tells me to add them when I click on Share Report which does not work the same way the link shows
The link shows this screen:
While I get this one:
How can I give users premium permission to Power BI
Sharing Power BI reports happens in the browser, i.e. in the Power BI Service. Your second screenshot is from Power BI desktop, taken while publishing a report to the Service. After publishing the report, you need to go to the Power BI Service (app.PowerBI.com) and from there you can share the report with users.
I'm a newbie in Power BI..
I need to develop a tabular report (no visualizations) in Power BI and publish it to powerbi app so that client can see live reports.
For that what are the settings we have to do in app.powerbi or powerbi cloud?
When I published a report in my pbi cloud, in the report section, there is an option to publish /embed code. But it says the content will be available to public. So how can we restrict access? Do the client need to have pbi account to share the reports? Please let me know what type of PBI account we have to purchase to meet this requirement.
Also is it mandatory to create dashboard in order to share it to the client? Because report option serves the purpose? Is there any advantages in creating dashboard over reports?
Or do you feel any other suggestions rather than Power BI?
Data format: txt, tab delimited
Type of data: Medical records
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Power BI world has different things:
Power BI Desktop (PBID)- this is fat desktop client to create reports. You can use it for free.
Power BI Services (PBIS)- this is SaaS application that allows you create reports and share it. When you open powerbi.com you work with this app. All you reports located in logical containers - workspaces. This container like folder, nothing more. You can publish report from Desktop here into specific workspace. You can embed report from there, but without authentication, thus everyone can see it.
Power BI Embedded (PBIE)- this is PaaS solution to embedded reports into you app. Reports anyway should be stored into some workspace at PBIS. But you app can implement auth and show only specific reports to particular users. All users in you app can see different content and reports, based on your app logic, because you manage access to report via PBIE SDK. Take a look at playground.
So when your users work with PBIS they work with Microsoft Web App, if you want embedded same reports into you app, use PBIE with provided SDKs.
As for licenses. In fact there is only one license type: PRO.
If your users want publish and share reports using PBIS they ALL must have PRO licenses. That the point. You can use all products free unless you want share you reports and analysis. If you need to share you have to pay.
Different thing for PBIE. You implement your app as you wish, you manage you users. They should not have PRO licenses. In fact, you need one license to store you reports. I call this like service account. This is regular PBIS user with PRO license. You use it only for publishing reports and storing it at PBIS and you app use it to load and embedded reports. If you have 1000 users, you can buy 1 license and use it to publish you work and all users will be authenticated in you app, authorization also will be done in your app.
Another thing, that once you go in prod you need to buy capacity - Power BI Embedded Services at Azure. The cost depends on renders. Read more docs on this.
I have created a Power BI dashboard linked to the report and I am able to publish the power BI report to web. I would like to know if its possible to publish the dashboard, thank you.
Ok I think I found what to do about this, the YouTube link below explains it.
