Power BI Visio Visual "You Don't Have the right permission"

Thanks for your help in advance.  I am hoping this is user error but, I cannot figure things out.  

I am trying to add a visio diagram to a power bi dashboard.

I followed the steps in the tutorial and I am getting the following error:

-Same results in both PBI desktop and the Web App.  

-The visio diagram is saved inside my personal sharepoint.  

-I can open the link in both IE and Chrome

-I have confirmed that everything is setup in terms of Internet Security Zones.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thanks again, 

Paul

Hi @pcasillo ,

Please refer this issues from this document when using Visio visual in power bi:

Sign in issues

You should be aware of the following sign in issues:

  • Visio Visual in Power BI Embedded reports   A Power BI report can be embedded in apps such as Microsoft Teams or third-party apps. These apps can block pop-ups such as a sign-in prompt. In this case, the Visio Visual file needs guest access permission in SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business. Otherwise, Visio Visual keeps prompting to sign in but the app will keep blocking the sign-in pop-up. 

  • Single Sign-on authentication    Visio Visual in Power BI needs access to the Visio diagram you're working with, which means you might see a sign in prompt. In cases where Power BI user sign in information can’t be accessed through Single Sign-on authentication, users trying to view the Power BI report might see a sign in prompt to authenticate themselves working with the Visio Visual.

  • Internet security zones    If you're still having issues with authentication while working with Visio Visual using Internet Explorer, you may have Power BI and SharePoint in different internet security zones. Add both the Power BI domain and the SharePoint domain to the same security zone in your Internet Options and then try working with the Visio Visual again. For more information, see Change security and privacy settings for Internet Explorer 11.
