embed power-bi - getting 401 Unauthorized: Error while retrieving Embed URL

alteco — Mon, 13 Dec 2021 14:47:14 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to use power-bi report in python example app, but I am getting

Error Details:
401 Unauthorized: Error while retrieving Embed URL
Unauthorized:
RequestId: XXXXX

I followed this tutorial https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/embed-sample-for-customers?tabs=python and other power-bi tutorials, i also changed different configurations in power-bi and AD apps but it didn't resolve the problem.

Also, when I used power-bi rest APIs via postman, I was able to generate a valid token without RLS.
https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/XXX/reports/YYY/generatetoken

Can you please help to resolve the issue?

Thank you

Hi alteco ,

Do you add the registered app in ADD (service principal) to a security group, and then add it in Power BI Admin Portal?

If not, try this to see if the problem persists

you must add the service principal with proper permissions and add it to the workspace as the role you wish and then you must embedd the report by passing the tenant id , client secret for authenticating purpose and group_id and report id to specify the report .The group id must be the workspace id where you have added the service principal.For RLS you must pass the role to get authenticated.
