POWER BI EMBEDDED
AnonymousCan you please tell me where i am missing ?
I have referred the same link you have provided in the previous conversation's before. the link is below,
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-developer-overview-of-power-bi-rest-api/
this is the link i am following, ( currently )
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-developer-embedding-content/
Can you please tell me what process have been changed ?
FYI, This is our requirement's,
1. Create a report in power bi desktop using azure sql database. Applying RLS there itself. set roles and this is done in order to filter data based on the logged in user. ( already done )
2. We do have a web application which is in azure ( created and stored in app service's of azure )
3. So, when a user log-in into that application and able to see the data belongs only to them. We already did that part. Now our concern is based on the logged in user, data visualization should be done and we planned to use power bi tool for that. so we did step1 and saved a pbix file using power bi desktop.
4. Now, when i copied the embedd link of that pbix file and send to the application in azure, i am not able to see any difference for different users. visualization is static for everyone.
5. So, when i searched this communtiy i found in few posts that is regarding concept to bring a dashboard/report into an app. https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-developer-embedding-content/
So, can you please tell me where i am missing ? or where i am going wrong. I do read your previous replies that you said process for power bi embedded have been changed a lot. Please tell us what have changed ? and how to achieve our requirements ?
And what about power bi pro/premium license. I can create a solution for the above using pro license itself ?
And my undersatnding is i need premium license when my user's login into application to generate reports right ?
Thanks,

Power BI Embedded is being deprecated and it is not avaiable for new users. That's why you can't see the create option in Azure portal. Though you can bypass that creation lock by using the Azure CLI, however you should note that the being deprecated Power BI Embedded will continue to work for a limited time, to avoid any extra migrating and re-developing work in future,
It is recommended to start with the new replacement Embedding with non-Power BI users(Power BI Premium license needed). RLS is not available for the replacement at this moment but I think it would come soon, see this post.
Eric_ZhangThanks :)
Somewhere i read that we can develop using power bi pro license and when we need to move our solution to production we need premium licesne. are we on same page ?
Have you read my concern in previous comments ? what is your suggestion ?Thanks,
Gowtham
Eric_Zhang, Anonymous - Just to be more clear, rephrasing my query
Is there an option to create embedded workspace with PowerBI pro license or I need to necessarily purchase PowerBI premium license? Kindly confirm.
- Hi,
As some may already aware Microsoft has brought big changes recently with the announcement of the Power BI Premium options. Amongst those changes was the convergence of Power BI Embedded with Power BI REST API. So since June 1st 2017 if you try to create a new Workspace Collections + Workspace through Azure Portal instead of seeing the former Workspace Collections creation form on last blade you'll rather end up with a text untitled"Getting started with Power BI Embedded" and listing all the steps to prepare for Power BI Premium migration.You would probably see a link as you scroll down the page IF AND ONLY IF you have any existing Workspace Collections + Workspace created prior to June 1st. After that I'm afraid you won't be able to create new Workspace Collections + Workspace through Azure Portal.
Now it may still be possible to create a Workspace Collections + Workspace using what I call a "back 🚪 door" solution using Azure 1.0 [which you may find on one of Jon Gallant blog 😉 ] still I don't necessarily recommend this approach if you're planning a new project. I used Azure CLI mainly because I needed a Power BI Embedded working sample in tech speech session. Kind of explaining the path that's where we are and that's where we're heading so to speak.
Another change brought by Microsoft on June 1st was that from now on you'll need a Power BI Pro license to share material.
Last but not least, the new Power BI Embedded -Power BI REST API convergence is aimed towards Power BI Premium scenario. IOW if you want to embed material with new embedding approach you'll have no choice but purchasing a Power BI Pro + Power BI Premium... and that's the way it goes...
