Problem with Publishing and Adminrole

Hi,

 

i could read on different posts that you announced changes of the general web publishing.

If i read it right, an admin role has to be assigned to be able to pubslih embedded links for reports in the future.

 

I'm using the free version so i dont have the adminhandling in the dekstop or webapp.

On a different spot one of your members describes the handling of that issue as a free user in the

comment section.

 

He could help that other free user but when i try to reach the given links to the adminsection of office 365

i get a message about not beeing authorized.

 

I cant move on and i really need to publish and embedd reports so every fast help is well appreciated.

 

Cheers,

Tom

      Hi Kathrin,

       

      the usual way i go is to upload the project from my local app. Later i publish via the embedded link function via the webapp of Powerbi. This link i host in an iframe to my page. This worked fine over the last few years but when publishing, the webapp says

      i have to contact an administrator due to missing rights. I cant change those rights inside the webapp because i am no premiumuser.

      According to another forumpost beeing a free user doesnt exclude me from publishing.

       

      Cheers,

      T.

        HI Torell ,

        ok so you need the "publish to web" fuction. Hopefully there is no sensitive data in your report 😉 because there is no security in publish to web reports.

        So you need to be in a group which will be defined by your Admin :).

         

         

        Best,

        Kathrin
