impersonation
I am trying to create a Power BI web app that sits on a dummy computer that displays certain reports. I want to send the user name and password to Microsoft without user input. I have tried and tried and tried and can't get to work. Can anyone help me out?

Yes, I am referring to embedded. The problem is that I am using the REST APIs and I need to impersonate a user since these computers will not have user interaction. I watch the video and the gentlemen stated that users have to log in, but he did not give the reasons why. Do you know why you can not impersonate a user using the REST APIs?
Hello Anonymous,
I have found the documention on the REST APIs and I can not find any mention of impersonation. I just need further clarification on how or why I can't do this.
Hi jmaroney,
I'd like to suggest you take a look at below article:Authenticate users and get an Azure AD access token for your Power BI app
