Hi,
Is there a way in Power BI (Embedded) by which we can restrict access of various tabs in Power BI report to different teams. eg securing different tabs of power BI report based on the username of the user logging in (belonging to some tenant) in our application.
If the tabs mean "pages", I think it is doable. However this approach is not that secure, for those who have javascript and html knowledge, they can hack and see every page. For more secure option, try to use Row level security in Power BI Embedded, though this will only limit the users accessing to see limited data, the users can still see all pages.
