Hi,

 

i have been reading your request and unfortunately I can't answer it. But I am wondering if you found the solution ?

I would need the service you are describing. I want to be able to share report to users who don't have a power bi licence. I want to be able to publish my report on a platform and give access to anyone that I authorises.

do you know someone who provide this service, please?

thanks

    We got some kind of report embedding to work, if I remember right. That development discontinued though since.

     

    I think after the user had authenticated to our internal web portal, an access token to the power bi service (API) was obtained by using GetAccessTokenOnBehalfOfUser (from the Microsoft.Identity.Client library) in the backend.

     

    Also, we obtained an enterprise license (to power bi) which enables everyone in the company to "read" reports without the pro license.

    With external customers this would not have worked without alternate trickery. I think we have one solution that company called Optisigns has a product to share content to external viewers.
