Embed Paginated Report Using Service Principal

MarkJensen — Tue, 06 Aug 2024 20:49:38 GMT

We are using to try and embed a paginated report:

Service Principal for log in
It returns an embed token
We have given the service principal all the rights to the API
I am able to access powerbi dashboards from the same workspace
powerbi-client and powerbi-client-angular (frontend embedding)

When trying to embed we get the embedToken and it gives back a proper embedUrl and changes the endpoint to rdlEmbed and attaches the token. It's throwing a 401 error on this endpoint:

https://wabi-west-us-d-primary-redirect.analysis.windows.net/explore/reports/...../modelsAndExploration?preferReadOnlySession=true&skipQueryData=true

The embedded window shows the animated powerbi logo and then says:
"This content isn't available, Learn More about PowerBI"

Feels still like a permissions issue, but not sure what else to grant it, any ideas?

Hi @MarkJensen ,

Please refer to the offical blog as below to configure Service Principal.

You need to make sure you have enabled the Power BI service admin settings as Step3.

For reference: Embed Power BI content in an embedded analytics application with service principal and an application secret - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Then please refer to below offical blog to embed pagianted reports. You need to make sure you have achieved the prerequisites.

For reference:

I am still waiting on an organizational admin to verify against the documentation. So, not sure why this was marked as accepted.
