Can i use Power BI Embedded with my own user authentication database

I developed my own user database that I integrated with my Customer-Facing Web Portal. Each customer has a login/password that is stored in my own user db.

I Would like to know if can i use the Power BI embedded to embed a dashboard in my Web Portal and use Row Level Security to restrict access to some data based on User or another attribute (like "COMPANYNAME")?

Thanks!

    Based on my test, you can do that with RLS in Power BI Embedded.

    When generating an token, set the ROLEs by using

     

    var embedToken = PowerBIToken.CreateReportEmbedToken(this.workspaceCollection, this.workspaceId, report.Id,"userName", new string[] { "RoleName" });

    You can check more details in that link.
