Hi all,
Is it possible to use the Authentication API from an Organizational Custom Visual?
From the documentation it is not clear to me whether an Organizational Visual (loaded from a file, not AppSource) is to be considered a Private visual, hence not suited to use the Authentication API once the Tenant Setting is switched ON.
Any guidance on how to use the Authentication API from an Organizational Custom Visual.
Any other options to authenticate from such a visual? Users need to authenticate with their Entra ID or Security Group.
Thanks!
Alessandro

Hi @aallegri1,
An organizational visual is still regarded as a private visual if its GUID doesn't correspond to one that is published in AppSource. It is highly likely that all AppSource GUIDs are whitelisted against the API and private GUIDs are not. If you want confirmation, it's probably best to contact the visuals custom visuals team directly (pbicvsupport@microsoft.com) as they don't actively monitor these forums.
