Assistance with Enabling Managed Identities for Power BI Integration

[v-sunitkumar]

Hi Team,

I would like to display my Application Insights data in a Power BI report. For this, I need to enable Managed Identities. Currently, I am using the "Premium Per User" license, but I do not see the option to use Managed Identities.

Could you please advise if I need to upgrade my license, or if I can proceed with the current version? If the current version supports this, kindly provide the steps to enable Managed Identities.

Alternatively, if an upgrade is required, could you please explain the associated costs?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
Sunit Kumar

Hi @v-tangjie-msft 
We have the Power BI service configured on msit.powerbi.com, and I am able to access it successfully. However, we need to display Application Insights data in Power BI reports using Managed Identities.

To do this, we need to make some changes in both the Admin and Tenant settings. Unfortunately, we do not see the option for Tenant settings in our current setup.

Could you kindly advise how we can resolve this and make the necessary changes?
