Direct Query not supported with V1 embed token

Hi,

 

I have a power automate flow that uses "Export to file for Power BI Reports" action with defined Identities (Username, Role and Dataset). When I trigger the flow, it returns an error "Embedding a report with a model which has a Direct Query connection to another model is not supported with V1 embed token". The report being exported is using a composite model with import and direct query combined. This error only occurs when Identities is in place, otherwise, it runs successfully. Does anyone know a work around for this?

 

Cheers 

  • Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Exporting a report with a model with DirectQuery to another model with effective identity isn't currently supported.

    I don't think this limitation is documented as this is pretty advances scenario.

    As far as I know it should be supported sometime soon, but I can't guarantee when.

      Hi Amos, 

       

      Is there any other workaround we can apply in the Power BI or Power Automate side, just so we can incorporate RLS?

        Hi,

         

        Power BI API doesn't support it, and I don't know of any possible workaround.

        The Power Automate is just a wrapper to allow calling the Power BI API as part of a flow, so it can't help in that matter.
