Multitenancy Solution for Embedded PowerBI Paginated Report

Anonymous — Fri, 24 Dec 2021 14:08:52 GMT

I am trying to embed my paginated reports in angular application. Its a multitenant application and the model is Databse per tenant)

Following is the requirement:

1) We have different database for different set of customers (ie., DB1 for CustomerSet1 and DB2 for CustomerSet2).

2) When a customer from CustomerSet1 logs into application, he should see the paginated report related to the data in DB1.

Following is the solution I came up with:

I will create a seperate workspace for each DB (Workspace1 for DB1 and Workspace2 for DB2).

Problem:

This solution needs manual intervention,

1) We have to create workspace everytime a new DB is added.

2) We have to republish all the reports everytime.

Question:

Is there a way to avoid manual intervention everytime a new DB is created? Is there a better solution to this?

NOTE:

I also tried with the USERID concept of getting the USERID as a parameter value. But I am not able to pass the datasource dynamically in the connection string.

Hi @Anonymous ,

According to your statement, I think you want to restrict data by user. Here I suggest you try RLS in Power BI.

For reference: Row-level security with Power BI Embedded

Hi @Anonymous ,

I appreciate you for replying.

I have tried both of the solutions that you mentioned but in vain.

For Row-level security with Power BI Embedded, I was not able to pass the datasource dynamically in the PowerBI Report builder connection string.

Do you have a solution for this?

For Multi-tenancy solutions with Power BI embedded analytics,

1) We have to create workspace everytime a new DB is added.

2) We have to republish all the reports everytime.

Do you have a solution for this 1 & 2?

Thanks & Regards,

Ramamani
