An employee responsible for Power BI just quit at my workplace and he had created a couple of PowerBI apps that were later published organisation-wide.
I have no Power BI knowledge, and I've been tasked with transferring ownership of these apps since the ex-employee account is now set for deletion. I tried searching online but did not see anything that could help me.
Is there a guide somewhere that could help with this.
You need to become the owner of the App Registrations for the Apps he created. You can do this through portal.azure.com if you search App Registrations then click the App(s) he created and there will be an "Owners" tab where you can remove him and add yourself.

Hi I am using a free license of Power BI account to build report. If I want to embed the Power BI report to my company's html page, should I have to own a Pro license to do that?
Basically I am asking after my couple of days of free trial license, can I still have the function to do so?
Thanks
With the free version you can use 'Publish to Web', but reports have to be in 'My Workspace' you'll not be able to share items to web from other workspaces, that will require a Pro license. If the option is turned off in the Power BI tenant, (it is turned off by default) by your Power BI Admin, then you will not be able to publish items at all.
More details on the MS Doc website here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/consumer/end-user-features
Please note, publish to web should only be used for data that can be consumed by anyone freely as it is not secure. You haven't mentioned what type of report it is, or the data it will contain in your company's html page. If it contains company confidential data, do not use 'publish to web' as anyone with the url can access the report.
If for example, it shows freely available data, then it is safe to use. Some local authorities use 'Publish to Web' to show data such as bin collection, service KPI's, covid rates, and pollution levels in the city center, all publicly accessible data, presented in a visual manner.
If the data cannot be shared publicly, then your other option is to only share with other Pro users to allow show the page in your website, it will then prompt the user to login Power BI.
I created a subscription for one of the report in Power BI APP and it is working fine.
Only problem here is that same subscription is not visible to any other user.
Both the users are Admin on that workspace.
Does any one having knowledge regarding this please help me in this.
Thanks!!
I am trying to add a user by email in the power bi app RLS. For this, I have created a Role and then publish the report online. Now I want to add the user. But I am unable to do it. Below is the screenshot
It clearly says the "One or more email addresses are outside your organization: gmail.com".
I have checked the admin portal the Invite to the external user is enabled.
I don't know what is the main reason, but I am stuck to it.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
I've been looking at options for sharing my Power BI reports with clients in a secure manner. By looking through the documentation and was looking into Power BI embedded, however, one of my colleagues suggested that instead of going through all of that we should simply publish the iFrame to a password protected website in our own site as to reduce the workload.
I was interested has anyone tried this and had any success? Are there any drawbacks to using this method? I'm fairly new in this field so I am afraid I am missing something.
Why not create a user account in your domain ClientName#yourdomain.com and share the reports/dashboards as per normal internal sharing?
To answer your question directly, I have done this before and it worked fine.
Keep in mind that the iFrame is public so once the user has that user from the iFrame they would need to log into that page, they can go directly to the url within the iframe.
Is the Power BI REST API only allowed to be called for accounts within the same organization of the application?
For example, in Azure I created a new Power BI app in the Azure Active Directory mycorp.onmicrosoft.com.
Then when using the API and redirecting the user to authenticate, it doesn't seem to work unless the user logs in as a user in the *#mycorp.onmicrosoft.com organization.
The error message is: Application with identifier '' was not found in the directory
I really hope this is not a limitation.
Coming back to this thread. You're right that today Power BI requires the user and the content to be in the same organization. We do not have cross tenant sharing yet (it's something we're looking into).
