Create portal and embed Power BI reports for external customers
Hi Anonymous ,
Thanks for the response. I know about Power BI Embedded capacity and we are certainly not interested to buy any kind of licensing as we already have Power BI Premium capacity which meets all of our internal needs. My original question is what's the best way to create and a portal from scratch and embed Power BI reports leveraging the Premium licensing that we already have. I think I figured it for myself after a very in-depth research.
1. With PowerApps portals: For organizations with less external customer base and no portal to embed PBI reports then creating a PowerApps Portal and then using PowerBI Premium/PRO to embed reports is the way to go.
2. Without PowerApps portals: For organizations with a huge external customer base and no portal to embed PBI reports then developing a Web application using CMS like Wordpress and then leveraging PBI Premium capacity/PRO is the best option.
There is another less expensive licensing option for embedding called Power BI Embedded capacity (starting at A1), this provides the same embedding features but does not include unlimited Power BI pro licenses for the organisation that Premium does. For smaller organisation this might be a better option
