Customer can only see their data through this web application which is on azure ad domain.
If I embed Power BI to the web application is it possible to embed the power bi web designer as well?
Just trying to find a way to use embedded without giving the user direct access to the cubes and db from their Power BI desktop.
You can embed the report in View or in Edit modes. Probably the later one is what you are looking for. See Embed Configuration Details for more details.
var embedConfig = {
...
permissions: models.Permissions.All
viewMode: models.ViewMode.Edit
You can also switch from view to edit mode and vise versa with following code:
report.switchMode("edit");
report.switchMode("view");

We have a React app.
What I actually want to do is to send JSON to power-bi service, and on the basis of that json data, powerbi service should create a visual/graphical report for me.
I want this whole process to be automated
What I have done so far is-
I have created a push dataset using powerbi REST APIs mentioned in this doc.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/push-datasets/datasets-post-dataset-in-group
Additionally have created a table inside that dataset through this REST API in the following doc.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/push-datasets/datasets-post-rows-in-group#code-try-0
Now, what I want is to create a visual report/graph from this table inside this dataset.
There are APIs to clone an existing report.
There are APIs to update/delete a report.
But I could not find any APIs that can be used to create a report from JSON or from an existing dataset.
MORE-
Additionally in regard to creating a report what i have found is just this page in the whole powerbi docs.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/overview/powerbi/create-edit-report-embed-view?tabs=embed-for-your-organization#how-to-create-a-report
This could be helpful as i also want to embed the created report in my React app at the end.
however I tried it in my react app, and couldn't make it work.
Is this even possible to create a powerbi visual report (not a paginated report) with the help of REST APIs, or they can only be created manually?
Please lead my way!
PowerBI Rest APIs are used to Manage PowerBI Content, Embed Power BI Content, Perform Admin operations.
Create a Report in Power BI Service:
Follow the documentation to create a report in Power BI service.
Please note that, Currently Power BI service only supports published dataset or pasting or manually entering data in a table. To connect to other resources, download Power BI desktop.
Create a Report in Power BI Embedded:
Power BI Embedded allows us to create, edit and save reports.
Please note that, a report can be created in powerbi-embedded only if we have an existing dataset. Refer to this documentation on how to create, edit and save reports in powerbi-embedded.

I have created report in power bi but i am not able to share it client as i dont have power bi pro license, whenever i clicked on publish to web button it is showing 'Contact your admin to enable embed code creation' pop up message
Yes, you can create a share to web without having a Power BI Pro license, however it is turned off by default in the Power BI tenant settings.
This will need to be enabled by your O365 or Power BI Admin. Please note, this method of sharing is NOT secure, anyone with the url will be able to access or see the report. The URL it generates is publicly accessible. To securely share you will need Power BI Pro, and share via workspaces or apps
We have a multi tenant webapp which is used by around 300/400 users and growing. We want to use PowerBI to visualize the data and embed it inside our web app. Our ultimate goal is that each user can have their own dashboard based on their role and if PowerBI allows we also want users to edit dashboards from within the Web App. Is it possible? What should be the best practice to implement it and what type of Power BI license would it require?
App: MVC 5 Azure Web App
Database: Azure SQL database with Row Level Security
It is not possible to edit dashboards in Power BI Embedded, only reports. So lets assume each user will have his own report. When a new user is registered, you can use Clone Report In Group API to provide a standard template report to start with.
When embedding, there are two models - user owns data and app owns data. In the first mode each user needs Power BI Pro license, while in the second you need a single "master" account with Pro license. It is highly recommended to buy a dedicated capacity by purchasing Power BI Premium or Power BI Embedded.
For best practices and details about the implementation, you can read Tutorial: Embed Power BI content into an application for your organization article.
I am new to power bi. I have power bi account there I created some dashboards with some reports, now I want to consume those dashboard and report using power bi rest API (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/)in our own application. Our application we used the .net core for back-end and angular 6 for the front end. We need to call power bi API from the .net core. If I change report in power it should also reflect in our application. I am new so I am not understanding from where to start?
Start by reading these:
Embedding with Power BI
Tutorial: Embed a Power BI report, dashboard, or tile into an application for your customers
Microsoft Power BI Embedded Playground
In essence, you need to authenticate using Azure Active Directory Authentication Libraries (ADAL), obtain the embedUrl of the dashboard, it's id and the id of the group in which it is. It will be loaded in a div section of a html file using the embedded client. For more details look at the official samples. App Owns Data means that for authenticating you are using one account, which your application knows (e.g. user name and password stored in the configuration), while User Owns Data means that each user uses his own Power BI credentials to access the embedded elements.
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.
