Hi Experts,
I need to connect to Azure active directory in Power BI desktop and display the user data from AAD in Power BI reports. Is it achievable in Power BI?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hey @Anonymous it would really depend on exactly what you're trying to capture from Azure AD but a lot of the information gets stored into Microsoft Graph https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/graph-explorer
This means that you would need to create a custom connector to access it. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/custom-connectors/define-blank .
Here's a sample connector: https://github.com/Microsoft/DataConnectors/blob/0621c3d7e7cc4d32df2193e0d5ebfb488f344453/samples/MyGraph/MyGraph.pq
Proud to be a Super User!

Hi,
I like to get the users from an AAD group into a PBI report. Is there another way, without PowerApps/Automate, to do this?
Cheers
@Anonymous you can use graph API to get AAD data. I don't have much knowledge but I know this is the route you can use to make it work.
