Login Issues with PowerBI embedded iFrame in Safari

Hi,

I am a relative newbie to Power Bi.

I have created a simple webpage with an embedded Power Bi Report for customers which I plan to integrate into our web portal. The webpage and embedded report work well in all browsers except Safari. As our key customer uses Safari, this is a problem.

The specfic issue with Safari is the 'Prevent Cross-Site Tracking' setting which is set to on by default. If I turn it off, again the webpage and embedded report work well.

In order to provide a seamless experience for our customer, I would prefer not to have to tell them to disable the 'Prevent Cross-Site Tracking' setting to use the webpage/report.

Does anyone know if there is a workaround to this issue? Or am I going to have to bite the bullet and ask clients who use Safari to turn off this setting?

I would appreciate any ideas.

As far as I am concerned,when using the new Safari browser with Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP), 3rd party cookies are not allowed by default to remove the ability for websites to track you using cookies.

When an iframe is hosted in a page, it’s cookies, even if they are for the origin in the frame are considered 3rd party if it is hosted in a page that is a different origin. This causes the cookies set for the PBI embedded add-in webpart model to not be sent on subsequent requests, including the authentication cookie.

You need to have the customer check these options. At the same time, other browsers may also have this issue, please refer to the solution here:
