    Hi powerbiexpert22 ,

    The Power BI Embed website and portal can only allow others to view reports on the website , cannot be modified, and you need to log in to your Power BI account.

    The Developer Playground allows others to make changes to present the report in embedded code.

    So , if you need to just view the report , you can choose to embed it securely on the website. If you want to modify the requirements , you can use the developer playground.

    Below is the Microsoft's official link:

    Embed a report in a secure portal or website - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

    Best Regards,
