I am looking for a way to embed a report published in on premise Power BI Report Server onto an internal web application. The problem is, not all users of the internal web application has privileges to view the report on the Power BI Report Server. So, I am looking to route the web application user to the Power BI Report using a single user who has all the privileges on the Power BI Report Server.
Appreciate any help in advance.
Kind Regards,

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!
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 have an angular application in which i have some power BI reports using the iframe generated from the embed report method.
I just want the user of the applcation to see the report without autheticating with a microsoft BI account
Thanks for the help
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.
Look at Embedding for your Organization in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedding
As said in many reference link, in case of embedding the power bi to a application where we are going to build a secure website, we need to embed the Power BI report by publishing the power bi report to Azure Workspace right.
In that case , for registering the power bi report in Azure AD we followed the steps specified in the below link
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/power-bi-embedded-iframe/
While trying to import the .pbix file using REST API by using the POST request to api.powerbi.com, we were receiving 403 error. Hence we were not able to proceed further with the registeration/upload of PBIX file using Import API.
Also, for standalone or anonymous public embedding website we can go with Power BI Publish to Web option, using this we can get the embed code for the power bi report, which can be embedded into the web page. In case of standalone reports we can use this option to embed the power bi report on to our application, but since in our requirement we need to filter the data based on the user selection on the custom web page, we have to go with option 1 i.e. with publishing the report to AAD (Azure AD). Since we are facing authentication issue, we are unable to proceed with the process further.
Once the report is being publish we havethought of using either Power BI JavaScript or Angular JS API to pass the filter data from custom filter pane to the power BI as shown in the demo site.
