HI Anonymous,

Did you mean the embed content uses the user that generates embed token to authorization instead of 'master users' credentials?

If that is the case, have you saving multiple user credentials on your devices? If that is the case, I'd like to suggest your test with private mode or remove these cached data before the test.

BTW, you can also try to use service principal mode to do embed operation, it should be better than master user mode.

    Is service principal mode the preferred/recommended to authenticate for embedding operations?
