Can we integrate Keycloak as the Auth Server for SSO with Power BI Embedded?
Hi mannemlokesh,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.
Power BI Embedded supports embedding for users using Azure AD tokens. Since Direct SSO from Keycloak to Power BI is not natively supported as an identity provider, but you can achieve seamless access by handling token issuance in your app post-Keycloak login, and Role-based access is achievable via RLS, with your app mapping Keycloak roles to dataset roles. For auditing, your app should maintain its own logging of user activity, as Power BI won't automatically recognize users from external identity providers in the App Owns Data model.
You can go through the below links for reference:

If I misunderstand your needs or you still have problems on it, please feel free to let us know.
Best Regards,
Hammad.
