I am trying to silently authenticate the embeded report like done in Power BI Service. However in Report Server embedding is available through iframe and user is prompted to login with Windows/NTLM account. How can I authenticate silently like done in cloud based approach with a master user ?
So here is how I solved this issue for anyone wondering.
I wrote a reverse proxy to Power BI Reporting Server in my .Net Core application and authenticated each request with BASIC. I needed to enable BASIC authentication and CORS from application URL. (also you may need to add Network Service as content manager/viewer to your report)
Here are some useful links:
Proxy
PBIRS CORS

I got a problem that prevents me from moving forward. I want to embed Power BI report into my own web application. I am following the "embed for your customers" scenario with the master user option.
I struggle to embed the report in my web app. Where the report should be displayed, power BI API returns a "this content isn't available". I am wondering if it has something to do with the access token.
How to generate an access token for each user connecting to my web app to see the report? I am using react to build my web app.
We have a serious security issue regarding Power BI Report Server.
We depolyed a power bi report server report URL on a web portal but the URL is easy to catch after inspection on the portal and a user can have access to data of all other customers.
So we would like to avoid direct access to the URL through the web browser and avoid random people over the internet to access the ReportServer.
I would like to specify that we are using SSO (SAML) authentication mode on Power BI Report Server and with this mode we can not use RLS. What we are doing to manage users access to filtered data is adding filters in the Report Server URL. The problem is that those filters are not hidden and could be modified or deleted from users after catching the Report Server URL from the browser console (Network).
Domains of the report server and the web portal are different.
Data loading mode: Import.
Has anyone come across this requirement before? Any thoughts or suggested solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I have azure web api app with number of web apis of type post/get to get data. these apis are having basic authentication (bearer token)
I want to use 2-3 APIs as a data source in power bi, so that I can use these APIs JSON response as a table.
In Power BI Desttop > Get Data > Web > add API URL with sample GET API method name, will work but then it is asking for authentication.
If I tried to put API Key, then it is saying: A web API key can only be specified when a web API key name is provided.
How to connect web api using authentication in power bi as a data source.
PowerBI web seems to currently have little or no support for connecting to data via webapi, or web queries generally.
PowerBI Desktop allows you to get data from the web. I have been able to access data from webapis managed by Azure API Management in two different ways:
Use Advanced rather than Basic in the From Web dialog box. Put the webapi query in the url, but add a header with name Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key and put in as value the value of the api key.
Alternatively, instead of putting the api key in the header, with APIs managed by Azure API management, it seems you can add them to as a parameter to the apiquery, subscription-key=PutYourApiKey here.
However, I have found that although you can publish your data source or report to an online workspace, PowerBI online will give an error ("credentials not recognized" or similar) when you try and refresh the data! So as mentioned above, PowerBI online seems currently (Nov 2020) useless for connecting to WebApi data.
Hi I'm Using PowerBI Pro version. I have 10 clients and created all their dashboards on my single PowerBI account. I have custom login page where each client can login to their private space and see their dashboard and here I have pasted the secure embed code generated from PowerBI.
It is secure coz it asks to login to powerbi but I cant give my PowerBI account credentials to the client, If I do they is a possibility they can go to PowerBI login page and login using my credentials and see the other 9 clients dashboards and reports.
Is there any way to connect powerbi from code so i can login from my code itself and they can only see the dashboard of their own?
Yes, you need to embed these dashboards and reports into your application, using app owns data scenario.
How to do this is asked many times. See for example Is there any way to embed power bi reports and dashboards in vb.net or C# desktop application with sql server 2008 database?
I have embedded power bi report public access url in my web application, which is not authenticated. Is their any way i can authenticate the report without using Azure AD? Please do reply with solution.
Thanks in Advance
Are you talking about 'Publish-To-Web' solution (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-publish-to-web), if so - no, there is no way to authenticate access to such published report.
For getting authenticated access to embedded report, you should use PowerBI embedded (see https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/power-bi-embedded)
