PowerBI Embedded - start/stop Capacity Script

campelliann — Tue, 24 May 2022 14:11:07 GMT

Hi there,

I am not a developer, knowing only the very basics of python. How complex is it to write a script in order to automatically start/stop Power BI embedded capacity, based on User activity on the dashboards?
Are there any examples?

Many thanks

HI @campelliann,

I'm not so clear about your description, can you please share some more detail about your requirement?

How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly

If you mean dynamic turn on/off the embed content usages, you only need to control the access token and not renew it, then this content should not able to be viewed after the token expired.

If you mean to do some operations with capacity, I'd like to suggest you take a look at the capacity APIs which list all supported operations on capacity :

Capacities - REST API (Azure Power BI Embedded) | Microsoft Docs

@Anonymous one quick question which no one seems to know about licensing. Is it possible to create a shared account like finance@enterprise.com and have several people accessing the same PRO account.

Many thanks
