Custom Visual not working

I updated my Power BI Desktop to the latest version and hour ago. And since then, the Custom Visual in my report has not been working. Everytime I select the visual, I am asked to sign-in. And the visual is loaded only when I am signing in which I can't use for my official work purpose. It is a step back if this update mandates us to sign-in in order to use the custom visual.

 

Please help me out if there is any other way in which I can use the custom visuals in the new update without signing-in.

      parry2k If possible, can you also check if there is any particular reason that everytime I change the Page or add a Page, it keeps asking to Sign-in. Which adds more constarints to the user.

      Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Anonymous ，

     

    Based on my test,when you are using custom visual,you need  first to grant permission to use the product as shown below：

    It is the reason why you need to sign in when you wanna use the custom visual.

     

     

    Best Regards,
    Kelly

      v-kelly-msft Thank you for the effort. Just one thing, how did you get that Permission Dialog Box? Also if this permission is to be given in app source, that I have already done it. And no issues were there prior to the latest update.

      Also do I need to Sign-in for the Custom Visual to work or not?
