Assistance with Enabling Managed Identities for Power BI Integration

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-sunitkumar ,

     

    Licensing: PPU supports Managed Identities for dataflows. No upgrade is needed.

    Workspace Requirement: Ensure your Power BI workspace is in a Premium capacity (PPU qualifies).

    Azure Permissions: Grant the Power BI Managed Identity access to your Application Insights resource in Azure.

    For further details, refer to:

      Thanks for the reply. I followed the same steps suggested in the workspace settings. It shows the current license as Premium per-user.But we dont have the option Tenant setting . Please suggest how we fix this.

    Hi Anonymous 
    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?

      Hi v-sunitkumar 

      Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Forum Community.

      • PPU does support Managed Identity, as long as the workspace is in Premium capacity, tenant settings are enabled, and the right Azure permissions are granted.

      • Only Power BI admins can view or change tenant settings.

      • If you're an admin, go to the Tenant settings in the Admin portal and make sure these options are turned on:

        1. Allow using managed identities to connect to data sources
        2. Allow workspace managed identity to access Azure resources
