I'm exploring power bi paginated reports.
It does support SSAS via the gateway, but it doesn't mention SSO: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/paginated-reports/paginated-reports-data-sources#other-data-sources
Does power bi paginated report support SSO to SSAS? That is - can I pass the viewers identity to the SSAS so that for exmaple the RLS (in SSAS) can be utilized?
Should work like any other gateway connection to SSAS, where you configure the Windows credentials of an SSAS admin in the Power BI Service, and then pass the end-user identityusing EffectiveUserName or Customdata.

We're currently developing Power BI dashboards using Power BI Desktop and Power BI Server for hosting. At the same time we have SSRS reports hosted on SSRS server. We now would like to add Power BI paginated reports as it has richer graphic features comparing to SSRS. So I've got questions about Power BI Reports:
For hosting, do we need to install separate Power BI Report Server or Power BI Server that currently hosts dashboards can be re-used?
For developing reports, can Power BI Desktop be used for paginated reports' creation or additional software needs to be installed?
What is file extension for paginated reports - pbix (like Power BI dashboards) or rdl (like SSRS reports)?
Can Power BI Reports be hosted by SSRS server?
Appreciate your help.
I think I can help on a few of these points:
No, you host them in a workspace and or App on your server. But you need to user Premium Per User License.
Download and install Power BI Paginated Report Builder:
PBI Report Builder
It creates RDL files.
I'm not sure but I think they should be able to as I think they both produce RDL files. Please feel free to correct.
Hope this helps.
I already installed and configured a data gateway, pls how do I import a power bi desktop report and make it refresh changes accordingly? Thanks.
You can't refresh a power bi desktop report using data gateway.
A gateway is used to connect power bi apps on power bi service and on-site data sources.

I'm new at the Power BI.
I created dashboard on Power BI and I have published to the web
when opening the dashboard on custom URL I need to export the dashboard to excel report
can I do this in Power BI or not
I new I can to do this in Power BI web APP but I need do that in my dashboard URL
thank you
This "custom URL" that you mention makes me think that you used Publish to web. One of the limitations of this feature is that you can't export the data:
Reports using row level security.
Reports using any Live Connection data source, including Analysis Services Tabular hosted on-premises, Analysis Services Multidimensional, and Azure Analysis Services.
Reports shared to you directly or through an organizational content pack.
Reports in a group in which you are not an edit member.
"R" Visuals are not currently supported in Publish to web reports.
Exporting Data from visuals in a report, which has been published to the web.
ArcGIS Maps for Power BI visuals.
Reports containing report-level DAX measures.
Single sign-on data query models.
Secure confidential or proprietary information.
The automatic authentication capability provided with the Embed option doesn't work with the Power BI JavaScript API. For the Power BI JavaScript API, use the user owns data approach to embedding.
You can vote for this feature though.
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 have been using SSRS and .Net framework to create reports for my applications.
Now I want to generate reports and create dashboards using Power BI Embedded. But the documentation/demos for Power BI always say that we need to create Power BI services on Azure. I wonder if there was any way to do this without Azure.
I referred to this link
but the answers there have no approvals/comments,please help.
You may want to take a look at Power BI Report Server. It is a super-set of SSRS, which can host Power BI reports. For more information you can start from these articles:
Power BI Report Server
What is Power BI Report Server?
Quickstart: Embed a Power BI Report Server report using an iFrame in SharePoint Server
Essentially, embedding reports with Power BI Report Server is performed by adding "rs:embed=true" parameter to the report's URL.
