Hi @Anonymous ,

 

I checked the video, I think it loses some steps about cofiguring service principal in Azure portal.

Steps should be as below.

1. Create an Azure AD app

2. Create an Azure AD security group

3. Enable the Power BI service admin settings in Power BI Service.

4. Add the service principal to your workspace

5. Embed your content 

Here is the offical blog you may refer to.

Embed Power BI content with service principal and an application secret

Hi Rico,

thanks. It turned out, I didn´t yet enable "Access API for organization... at settings. When that was done, it worked.

Bye
