Embed group report problem

vospitannikov

How did you embed the report, did you follow this sample Integrate a report into an app?

Also please ensure the token is not expired, did you try to get a new token and embed?

I'm trying to integrate PowerBI report (located in group) into my page using iframe

I've registered AD application

I can query list of reports from the server side

But when I'm trying to use received "embedUrl" value using the same token I'm getting following error message:

"This content is not available.
Learn more about Power BI."

 

At the same time, if I open list of network requests in chrome DevTools, I can see the one request to some page ending in "modelsAndExploration" which return 401 error: Unauthorized

 

If I'm trying to open URL received in webUrl, I can successfully see report in PowerBI interface

Thanks for the clarification. I can embed the reports from groups well.

Regarding the bold part, do you mean that in web Url, you can embed the reports from groups without problem? If yes, what do you mean "in webUrl"?

I have exactly the same issue.

Embedding of my own reports works fine.

I have created 4 groups in power bi - only one report in one group can be embedded without a Problem, all reports that are within the other 3 groups can not be embedded (401 Unauthorized) - the group permissions are all the same.

Another problem:

I have written a small javascript function to switch dynamicly between reports. At this moment i try to load a report that does not work (see above) some error-handling goes wrong and the function does not longer work, i´m not able to embed the working report anymore  - i think there is some error handling missing in your underlying powerbi.js framework. 

function switchReport(id){
    var embedConfiguration = {
        type: 'report',
        id: id,
        accessToken: '{{AccessToken}}',
        embedUrl: 'https://app.powerbi.com/reportEmbed'
    };
    var $reportContainer = $('#reportContainer');
    var report = powerbi.embed($reportContainer.get(0), embedConfiguration);

}

Thank you. I finally found a solution.

I´m not using the powerbi-javascript-library anymore, regarding of the issue that it is not possible to set the groupid of a report at the moment.

Instead i use the following javascript-code (based on the provided example).

<script>

function loadReportIntoIframe(reportId,groupId,iframeId){
    var iframe = document.getElementById(iframeId);
    var iframeUrl = 'https://app.powerbi.com/reportEmbed?reportId='+reportId;
    if (groupId){
        iframeUrl = iframeUrl + '&groupId=' + groupId;
    }
    iframe.src=iframeUrl;
    iframe.onload = postActionLoadReport;
}

// Post the access token to the IFrame
function postActionLoadReport() {
    // Construct the push message structure
    // this structure also supports setting the reportId, groupId, height, and width.
    // when using a report in a group, you must provide the groupId on the iFrame SRC
    var m = {
        action: "loadReport",
        accessToken: 'YOUR_AAD_ACCESSKEY'
    };
    message = JSON.stringify(m);

    // push the message.
    iframe = document.getElementById('iFrameEmbedReport');
    iframe.contentWindow.postMessage(message, "*");;
}
</script>

Sample:

Loading a report from your worksspace:

<a href="javascript&colon;loadReportIntoIframe('REPORT_ID','','IFRAME_ID')" >REPORT NAME</a>

Loading a report from group:

<a href="javascript&colon;loadReportIntoIframe('REPORT_ID','GROUP_ID','IFRAME_ID')" >REPORT_NAME</a>

Next i will try to do the same with powerbi dashboards ...

I believe that this is PowerBI server side error
I've reported issue with detailed steps to reproduce:

I would really appreciate if you can vote for it
Thank you in advance
