Authenticating with C# API V2 against Azure Power BI Workspaces

IanV

The Power BI Embedded workspace collection is being deprecated. The new replacement is Embedding with non-Power BI users (app owns data). The correlated github demo is App Owns Data. See authentication code snippet below.

// Create a user password cradentials.
            var credential = new UserPasswordCredential(Username, Password);

            // Authenticate using created credentials
            var authenticationContext = new AuthenticationContext(AuthorityUrl);
            var authenticationResult = await authenticationContext.AcquireTokenAsync(ResourceUrl, ClientId, credential);

            if (authenticationResult == null)
            {
                return View(new EmbedConfig()
                {
                    ErrorMessage = "Authentication Failed."
                });
            }

            var tokenCredentials = new TokenCredentials(authenticationResult.AccessToken, "Bearer");

The username and password are of one Power BI Pro account. The client_id is from a registered Azure AD application. See this tutorial.
