Power BI Embedded and End Users

cc278 — Fri, 09 Sep 2016 13:53:01 GMT

Hello,

Is it possible to use Power BI embedded to only display reports that end users have created in Power BI desktop?

This is my scenario.

I have a hosted application with several clients.

Each client wishes to manage and create their own reports.

I'm assuming they would have to use Power BI desktop to create their reports.

Within Power BI desktop, they shouldn't see other client's reports.

Hope that makes sense.

Chris

You can organise reports as you see fit, PowerBI offers you Workspaces and Workspace Collections to do this (see here). So for example, you could use one Workspace Collection per client.

Using the API you can let users upload reports into your application into a specific Workspace.

Indeed, end users would use PBI desktop to create their reports.

can they use the web client to create reports? or does it have to be Desktop?
