In Power BI admin portal, we are able to see all the embed codes, & view them on web also. Is there any possible method to export "View On Web" option for all the embed codes when we export other information (Report Name, Workspace Name etc), or any alternative to get this information in bulk as I have multiple embed codes.

Has anyone tried a multi page filter and export each page on the Power BI Report to PNG or Power Point?
Example:
First page is a filter of Users Account. If I choose my account, it will reflect the filter on all other pages.
Now the output that we are trying to make is a automation with a button that will export all the pages of each Power bi pages with all the filters that user selected from the App.
These are the workarounds that me and my team are working at. We use Power Automate in Power BI and create button that will trigger a Power Automate Flow. The current issue is we cannot call multiple bookmarks and page in the same row function. That is the reason why I tried to fetch the pages and bookmark per function. Also, the filters in app from power bi from the users will not affect the PNG's and will only export the default pages from the report
Another work around is setting up a Power Point with all the pages ready with the add ins live and link of each pages from Power BI Service. With these way, we are able to create a export function and the Row Level Security will still handle the security. However, this has the same issue of not reflecting the user's selection from the multi sync filter per page.
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 can't figure out how to generate an embed code for a Power BI Dashboard - see picture of dashboard below. There is a "more options" on the dashboard, but no actual way to get an embed code in order to embed on a public website. I have this in report form (it's just the map, so only a one-page report) and I can generate an embed code for the report.
If I click on the dashboard itself, it just takes me back to the report, and any embed code I generate there just embeds the report, which annoyingly is not centered and includes the Power BI menu at the bottom:
Am I missing something here? Where is the option to get an embed code for a dashboard?
The Publish to Web option in Power BI is for reports only, not for dashboards or Apps. Any other embedding for a publicly accessible object must use the custom app approach, with the relevant Premium or Embedded Service.
I have a Power BI report that I want to integrate with my outward facing website.
On my website, if the user clicks on the name "Frank" I would like to pass this paramter to my BI Report. Internally this works with
Query00/name eq 'Frank' appended to the report's URL.
However, when I publish this report to the WEB (Public not within the organization) this parameter string does not work. How do I pass a parameter to a published BI report?
As you can see from the official documentation, this isn't supported:
Query string filtering doesn't work with Publish to web or Export to PDF.
You can either add slicers to your report, which will allow your visitors to filter the data, or embed it in another way.
Secure embedding supports URL filters, but the proper way to do this is to actually embed the report into your site. You can see it in action in Power BI Embedded Playground. When embedding, there are two scenarios - "user owns data", in which each visitor needs Power BI Pro account to see the report, and "app owns data", in which your application uses one Power BI Pro account to authenticate itself, but your users don't need to have Power BI accounts at all. In your case you need the later one.
Simply download Microsoft's sample application and configure it. You need to register Azure AD application to be used in your app. Then your app will authenticate itself and use Power BI REST API to get report's embedUrl and use it with Power BI JavaScript client to embed it in an empty <div> in a web page.
How to embed Power BI is a common question here on StackOverflow, so you can also read other answers, like:
Is there any way to embed power bi reports and dashboards in vb.net or C# desktop application with sql server 2008 database?

INTEGRATION OF POWER BI WITH HTML PAGE AND ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATION BTW HTML PAGE AND POWER BI
In this example we will embed the powerbi content in html page and create button in html page through which the view of the page will change. the below example i have modified as per above question
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button class="textLarge" onclick='show("ReportSection", "Frank");' style="display: inline-block;">Frank</button>
So here I am using a button click function "show" which has two parameters one is "page name" and other is "filtervalue"
and I have a iframe through which I am embedding my power bi report.
just remember that the filter value and you are putting is similar to the one in the published Bi report. Avoid spelling mistake as there would be character matching on the string.
<iframe id="embeddedframe" width="2000" height="1000" src="https://app.powerbi.com/reportEmbed?reportId=(put_your_report_id_here_and remove_parenthesis)&groupId=(put_your_group_id_here_and remove_parenthesis)&autoAuth=true&ctid=(put_your_ct_id_here_and remove_parenthesis)&pageName=" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"></iframe>
Basically you don't have to edit the iframe URL, you can directly get it from bi service portal
Then call the below function
In below function you need to edit the
1) baseURL
2) Table_Nameand Colum_Name
3)iframe_id
<script>
function show(pageName, filterValue)
{
var baseUrl='https://app.powerbi.com/reportEmbed?
reportId=b0f&groupId=e2c&autoAuth=true&ctid=efc8&config=e&pageName='
var newUrl = baseUrl + "&pageName=" + pageName;
if(null != filterValue && "" != filterValue)
{
newUrl += "&$filter=Table_Name/Column_name eq '" + filterValue + "'";
}
//Assumes there's an iFrame on the page with id="iFrame"
var report = document.getElementById("embeddedframe")
report.src = newUrl;
}
</script>
I have created one WebApp which is hosted on Azure IIS. I am calling PowerBI reports & Dashboards and rending them into my WebApp.
I need to apply following functionality and I am unable to find solution online.
Users can filter the data from filters available in PowerBI from Web Application.
Row Level Security can be applied when we call PowerBI reports and render into web page.
It is not clear what kind of URL you are using to embed the reports. Essentially, there are 3 URLs that you can use to display a report in your web app:
The URL taken from your browser's address bar. In this case the use of you web app needs to be logged in Power BI service and to be granted with rights to see this report. One of the disadvantages are that in your web app you will not see the report only, but the whole Power BI page (including the navigation menu at the left).
The URL taken when you share this report publicly using Publish to web. In this case only the report will be embedded in your web app (menus will not be visible), but you can't do that for reports over RLS enabled datasets (because RLS requires user's identity, while in this case the access is anonymous).
The embedUrl of the report (or tile, or dashboard) that you can obtain using the Power BI REST API. It is usually used when you have a dedicated capacity assigned to this workspace (Power BI Embedded). In this case there are two scenarios - "User own data" and "App own data". In the first one each of your users must have their own account and rights to see the report (as in #1). In the later scenario, you use one shared "master account" in your web app to get access to the report and there is no need for your users to authenticate themselves. You can take a looks at the samples to see how it works. Essentially, you need the JavaScript Power BI client, one HTML page with a and some JavaScript code to load the report in the (check powerbi.js, ReportLoader.html and ReportLoader.js files from the samples. A good place to start is this article - Tutorial: Embed a Power BI report, dashboard, or tile into an application for your customers.
To apply filters to the embedded report, you can use one of the recently new features (if I'm correct, it is available since August 2018) and add the filters in the URL. I'm not sure will this work in case #2, but I will not recommend using it anyway.
RLS is not possible with case #2. In cases #1 and #3 RLS will simply work. With #3 if you use "app own data" scenario, for the RLS to work you need to pass user's name and role when you generate the token to access the report (because otherwise for all user's requests Power BI will always see the identity of your "master account" and RLS will not make any sense). This is specified with EffectiveIdentity parameter.
You also attached "power-bi-report-server" to your question, but at the same time you are saying that your web app is running in Azure. If after all your reports are on Power BI Report Server on premise, then you can embed reports by passing rs_embed=true parameter at report's URL too. In this case to make RLS work you just need to make sure that your users are authenticated with their own accounts. Passing filters in the URL works with the recent versions too (it was broken in March 2018, but fixed in 15.0.2.389).
