"Export report to image is disabled on tenant level" error for PNG format via the REST API

dskprev — Mon, 29 Jun 2020 01:22:11 GMT

I'm getting the following when using the Export to File or Export to File in Group REST API endpoint when sending PNG as the format:

Export report to image is disabled on tenant level

I get a succesful response when sending PDF or PPTX as the format. The report is in a workspace assigned to dedicated capacity using a Azure Power BI Embedded A1 SKU in the West US region (same as the tenant's region).

I'm not aware of any tenant level settings for export to image and couldn't find anything in the Tenant or Capicity settings in the Admin Portal.

Anyone know if there is a setting at a tenant or dedicated capacity level that needs to be changed ... or if this is a limitation of Embedded (vs Premium, where I was able to get this to work for another org a month ago) or the region ... or if I need to specify something in the call?

There was an update to the Admin Portal > Tenant settings page about a week ago that now exposes the "Export reports as image files" setting. By default, it was set to Disabled for us. Once we enabled it, the error was resolved.
