After publishing a report to portal my teammates receive message like this:
But this option is enabled in both the PowerBI desktop and the Admin portal.
Is this a bug?

I created a dashboard in Power BI and would like to share the work with my friends through my novypro profile. But in novypro, it asked me for the embedded url. As I am currently using my school mail id for all my Power BI works, I couldn't see the publish to web option in order to get the embedded URL.
In the other links I tried, I learned that I have to check with the tenant option under Admin Portal. But under Admin Portal I couldn't see anything like that and I have attached the image below.
Is there any other way to send our report to the external users?
The reason you can't see any other tenant settings in the Admin portal is that you are not an Admin. You need to ask an admin to allow you to publish to the web.
The Power BI admin portal has settings that control who can publish to
the web. Work with your organization's Power BI administrator to
change the Publish to web tenant settings in the admin portal.
For smaller organizations or individuals who signed up for Power BI,
you may not have a Power BI administrator yet. Follow our process for
admin takeover. Once you have a Power BI administrator, they can
enable creating embed codes for you.
Established organizations usually already have a Power BI
administrator. People in any of the following roles can act as a Power
BI administrator:
Global administrators Users with the Power BI service admin role in
Azure Active Directory You need to find one of these people in your
organization and ask them to update the Publish to web tenant settings
in the admin portal.

Alternatively you can sign up for your own Developer Tenant, which includes E5 so you can use Power BI there and have full control.
I am creating a power bi report with multiple tables sources from web and salesforce. when I publish the report and set schedule refresh, I was asked to update data source credentials. I have updated credentials for web data sources. but when i update credentials for salesforce, its giving me an error
I am able to validate the same credentials in power bi desktop and it works without any issue. but only on power bi service, I am getting this error. Not sure what could be the issue here. please help.
Go to Salesforce, find the connecting user and at the bottom there should be login history. Do you see any errors there? Maybe "Restricted IP" (ask your SF admin to check this user's profile & allowed login IP ranges), maybe "Security token required" (ask sf admin, there's something you need to append at the end of password)...
If your app uses "connected app" (set of OAuth2 keys) there might be some config in SF needed like "all users can self authorise" or add your server to list of allowed callback urls...
I want to know the difference in the following 2 options in Power BI Service -> File -> Embed Report:
Website or Portal
Publish to Web (public)
My observation was that you can use Report Filters in Website or Portal option but Report Filters are disabled in Publish to Web option.
Can someone please answer my following queries:
When should we use each of the 2 options?
Which option needs Power BI Embedded Tokens and Capacity to use in production environment?
Can users use Filtering on the report in both the 2 options?
Thanks!

Please find the answer below:
1.Difference between Publish to Web and Publish to Website
Publish to Web:
Report will be public
No need to Login (Anyone with the link can view the report)
With the Power BI Publish to web option :
a. You can easily embed interactive Power BI content in blog posts, websites, emails, or social media.
b. You can also easily edit, update, refresh or stop sharing your published visuals.
Publish to Website:
Report will be private
Need to Login first (Unauthorized personal can’t be able to view the report)
With the Power BI Publish to website option :
a. User who has access to that workspace can see the report.
b. User who is member of your organization can see report from that workspace.
2.You don't need the Tokens and Capacity to publish the reports to web or website.
3.Filtering with Publish to Website and Publish to Web
With Publish to Website you can use filtering.
With Publish to Web to use the filtering on the report, you need to have the Power BI Pro License.
Publish to web does not allow display of the filter pane and tabs - at least as for now according to the Microsoft - see this link and the section called "Considerations and Limitations": https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/power-bi-report-filter. So if you have filters in the filter pane you would have to move them over to the main content of the report - not ideal if users are already used to using filters on the filter pane.
Publish to website or portal will just give you an iframe with a private URL and when users load the web page they will have to authenticate.
In order to embed and authenticate on behalf of all the users you will need a token. One way to do this is using principal service account - this way you won't be supplying any user account credentials. This workflow is well documented and you can even download a test application with working code where you would need to supply your values such as workspace id, report id, tenant id, application id and finally application secret. Get started with token authentication using this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/embed-tokens. Double check token expire date and set it appropriately.
I have a problem when I try to publish a report on web. A message saying that I need the permission of my admin to create the embed codes.
And when I go to admin portal, there is error message
embed code
admin portal
As of February 2020, using the 'publish to web' function setting has changed, and is turned off by default, and can only be activated by the O365 admin or a defined Power BI Admin user. Under a normal Pro/Free user setting you don't get admin rights, or see the full admin portal.

A user at my company when opening a dashboard from the Power BI Mobile Windows application receives a “not authorized … contact administrator” error message, however it comes up fine in a browser.
I had to share the dashboard report with him before he could view it in the application.
I hoped someone might have an idea what the issue could be.
Thank you so much.
EDIT: It actually appears this is a global issue with all users. No one can see this report in Power BI Mobile. Everyone receives the error, "The report shown in this tile doesn't exist or you don't have permission to view it.". However viewing it in Chrome or Edge browser it shows correctly.
