Embed PBI Report in iframe

amalekshahi — Fri, 26 Jan 2018 17:36:45 GMT

Hi,

I prepared and published a PBI report and everything works fine. We need to embed the report in an iFrame and pass four initial parameters (Authentication Token, Account_ID, FromDate and ToDate) to the report. In the report, To secure the report, I will call a REST API to check the validity of the token against the Account_ID and exit if the token is not valid.

Is this possible in PBI?

Thanks

Hi @amalekshahi,

What's the Authentication Token, is it a embedded token?

If that is the case, you should be able to find a way to decode the token to get the user information, and validate it against the Account_ID. Here is a similar thread for your reference.

No. We have a REST API endpoint where our application issues a token after successful authentication (nothing to do with Power BI).

Here is the way we want to embed Power BI in our application:

- Our application authenticates user and creates a token

- The token will be passed to Power BI embedded iFrame

- Inside Power BI, we would like to call another REST API to validate the token

- Upon successful validation, the visuals will show

Is this possible in Power BI?

Thanks
