Can you embed reports from Power BI Report Server?

Hi - documentation is not clear on this capability. Can you embed reports from Power BI Report Server?

Hi, 

Does this mean that it's required to use Azure service to show a Power BI report in a web application?

 

Thanks,

Highlander

Hi all,

 

I also wonder about this. Do we need Azure when embedding Power BI or can we use different capacity?

 

Thanks!

    Nath_BI - I appreciate this is an old thread, but the answer is you do not need Azure provided your report server and your web server can communicate with one another.  I have just successfully embeded one of my reports on a web page;

     

    <iframe width="1000" height="700" src="http://my-server:myport/Reports/powerbi/myreportname?rs:embed=true" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"></iframe>

    The "rs:embed=true" is crucial, without it the request gets knocked back by the report server.

     

    Hope this helps.

        No, because users have to be authenticated against AD.  I suppose you could create a dummy AD account and provide the credentials to the external customer.  I don't really like that approach though, maybe someone else has found a way to allow anonymous access?
