Secure write back possible in custom visual?
Authentication is on backlog. It'll be considered soon.

Power BI CV API does not provide authentication mechanism so far.
We'd recommend to implement your own authentication that will ask user to log in.

It is not the answer I hoped for (user-experience-wize), but it is clear at least.
Also I hope this will soon be implemented; in Qlik and some other data visualization tools you have ways to do this, and I see these kinds of requests more and more...

- Super; thats good news. Thanks for the quick reply again!
Is there any update regarding the Authentication?
We have the same client requirement - How can I authenticate myself against this external API so only authenticated users in PowerBI can call the API.Auth API for Microsoft Services is in progress. No particular ETA yet.
For external services you should use OAuth of other methods for authentication.
