My firm uses PowerBI Report Server. I haven't seen any updates on this so I'm thinking no, but want to confirm: Are external users allowed to access reports on the Report Server without being on premisis (with RLS)Can we embed powerbi reports (via iframe) within our secured website that that clients can log in to (again with RLS maintained)? Thanks, Sheila

In the upcoming release in September the new filter pane will become GA in PBIRS and together with PBIRS custom authentication all of the above 4 can be achieved then, assuming you are using SSAS Tabular as your data source.

Hi shera276, Embedding Power BI Reports into external application is only supported via PowerBI.com and requires Power BI Premium Capacity Subscription as far as I am aware. You can embed the report server reports into internal applications.check out the below blog post:https://www.kasperonbi.com/embedding-power-bi-reports-with-power-bi-report-server/ Thanks,Bhavesh

For 1. as far as I know it is not available yet. I would love to know if anyone has got this working.For 2. yes it is achievable with SSAS RLS but nothing in-built from Power BI Report Server.

Anonymous - Thank you for the response. For #2, are you saying that we could embed the pbix (optimized for Report Server and with RLS enabled) into our secured website that external users must log in to and see the report? I'm not technical so if this is possible could you point me to some documentation that might achieve this? It might be ok if we bypass report server and just embed with in our secure website.

For #2, what we have done is, once the report is published to Power BI report server, we copy the report url and added it to an iFrame within our application. This works fine in our environment, although external users have to use a separate account within our AD to log in to PBIRS and look at the report. We have not find any workaround for this.

Hi,
Can anyone confirm point.1 please?
Im using Power BI Report Server (sep 2019), and have a requirement to allow access of our pbi reports to external users (users not sharing our domain).

Is it possible now? If yes, please elaborate?
-Thanks

  We have successfully implemented anonymous access for external our users using below URL. We are using Power BI reports in our web application using iframe.

  We have on-premises report server.
