Embed Dashboard in AppOwnsData mode

Hello, for the past few days I have struggled to embed a dashboard (not report) in AppOwnsData mode.

The only issue I had was with the RLS and having to add an additional "identity" parameter to the request.

Later I created similar functions for retrieving dashboard embed token following the documentation.

First I send а request to list all pinned dashboards in the given workspace (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/dashboards/getdashboards). From that, I get dashboard id, name, and embed Url (which are also available in PowerBI service under share)

Second I used the dashboard id, dataset id, group id, and effective identity to generate an embed token (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/embedtoken/dashboards_generatetokeningroup). So far so good, I was able to get an embed token for all pinned dashboards in my workspace.

However, I am not able to display the dashboards in the web app. I thought I made some mistake in code when displaying it, so I tried in the dashboard sample Playground (https://microsoft.github.io/PowerBI-JavaScript/demo/v2-demo/index.html).

I supplied the embed token, dashboard id, and embed URL to the playground.

What I got in return was the same error ( "message": "Dashboard Embed: Fail to initialize - Could not initialize dashboard").

I can supply code, but I don't think it is necessary, since I am getting a valid response from the PowerBI API.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be going wrong? Why is the dashboard embed token not working?

Also how can I check the request id for more info (requestid: f5aed91c-5935-4e0a-a224-1f5ccf24a97f) ?

I'd like to suggest you check the prerequisite step of embed if you did not correct config these permissions.

In addition, how did your security group and workspace configured? Can you please share more detail?
