When clicking on Sign-in on embedded report nothing happens

I was wondering if someone could help me with that issue.

In the following link:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-embed-secure 

It says: "Whether a user opens a report URL directly, or one embedded in a web portal, report access requires authentication. The following screen appears if a user has not signed-in to Power BI in their browser session."

 

In my case, when I embed a report using an iFrame the Sign-in screen appears even if I have already signed in into my Power BI Pro account and in any case, when I click on Sign-in nothing happens. However, when instead of embedding the report with an iframe I enter the direct link it works.

Below is the embedded code that does not let me sign-in:
<iframe width="1140" height="541.25" src="https://app.powerbi.com/reportEmbed?reportId=c1f5c817-9a9a-4eff-bccc-b8392b68c45e&autoAuth=true&ctid..." frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"></iframe>

And this is the link that works when pasted direcly into the browser:
https://app.powerbi.com/reportEmbed?reportId=c1f5c817-9a9a-4eff-bccc-b8392b68c45e&autoAuth=true&ctid...

I was wondering if someone could help me to see what may I be doing wrong.

Thank you so much for your kind assistance.

Marc

For future reference if anybody else is having the same problem, what solved it for me was setting "same-origin-allow-popups" as the Cross Origin Opener Policy. Microsoft couldn't log me in without this.

I'm having the exact same problem. I'm not using incognito or private mode. Does anyone know anything that could help me? I have no idea how to debug this.
P.S.: I also used this steps that I found but they had no effect:

  1. In the Edge Settings window, select Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and data stored > Manage and delete cookies and site data.

  2. Turn on Allow sites to save and read cookie data (recommended), and make sure that Block third-party cookies is turned off.

    Alternatively, if you have to keep third-party cookies blocked, do this instead in the same window:

    Under Allow, select Add to add the following sites:

    • [*.]microsoft.com
    • [*.]microsoftonline.com

I accept it as a solution for now, since I will have someone looking in detail into it in the near future but you need me to resolve it. Many thanks Eyelyn for the help. I really appreciate it.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Did you use InPrivate or Incognito modes?
