One PowerBI Embedded app and multiple users

TriPax — Wed, 13 Jun 2018 13:01:00 GMT

Hi,
Is there any clear way where I can add another user who can generate token or it need to be separate app?
As an example I have one PowerBI Embedded Native app in azure AD with assigned username but I want to assign another user who can generate tokens also (in case where I want to split data per tenant on the BI side). So far only my account works even if I add second account as an owner of this application.

Hi @TriPax,

Do you mean the App Owns Data demo? If so, we can use one account only in this demo. If you want to use many accounts, I'm afraid you have to rewrite the application.

Best Regards,

no
this app I've already refactored but I'm thinking about this azure app from where we have ClientID - we add one user when we create it but there is no option to add another one because I just want to have multiple users who can generate tokens but use one Client app

Hi @TriPax,

You were talking about different tenants. I'm afraid we can't register different tenants applications in one tenant. But we could do it in the local App. For example, different users have different configuration files. To be honest, I'm not a professional app developer. But I think it could be possible. What resources we will connect are decided by "Web.config".

Best Regards,

it is not even splitted by tenants physically on my side

all what I want is when we generate this app https://dev.powerbi.com/apps as an native only user who create it can generate token using this applcation/client ID but I want to add second one to use the same application/clientID

even if I've add this new user as an second owner I have permission problem to this application on the azure side

Hi @TriPax,

Let's make it more clear. Do you mean you want to add another account to generate token? I tested it successfully in this scenario. The user should be an admin of that App workspace.

at Enterprise Application or App registration?

because when I add him only at PowerBI Workspace side I'm not able to generate token

The user or administrator has not consented to use the application with ID '7a3da811-xxxx-406b-b27f-3xxxxxxxxx' named 'xxxx PowerBI xxxxx'. Send an interactive authorization request for this user and resource.

so I need to add him at this azure app visible at App registration side but even if he is an owner I see that error
