Embedding a Power BI report inside a Power Bi report
Hi UNICODE,
Custom visuals themselves are hosted as an iframe, which is sandboxed to have minimum privileges, in order to preserve safety and security as much as possible for end users. As such, these iframes don't have the necessary permissions to handle requirements like cookies and endpoint security to embed an application that will require authentication, like Power BI itself. Any iframes you host inside a custom visual inherit these restrictions irrespective of how you configure their sandbox attributes yourself (if you might think of that next). Using a custom visual (whether it be HTML Content or developing your own would not be a viable solution for this use case, unfortunately.
At best, all you could do would be to link or drill through another report using native Power BI functionality.
Regards,
Daniel
