Different UPN when embedding with powerbi.load vs powerbi.embed
Hello,
We've started having an issue today with our embedded PowerBI reports. We tracked down the source of the issue to a new difference in behavior between powerbi.load and powerbi.embed.
When calling powerbi.load, the report appears to be running in the scope of the MasterUser that the embed token was generated with (calling USERPRINCIPALNAME() gives MasterUser). However, when we call powerbi.embed, the report is ran in the scope of the user the token was generated for.
We can't switch our embed code over to using powerbi.embed, as it prevents the usage of callback functions/events (loaded, clicked, etc).
It seems that this issue started today sometime. Is anybody else having this issue?
Thanks,
~Andrew
HI Anonymous,
Did you mean the embed content uses the user that generates embed token to authorization instead of 'master users' credentials?
If that is the case, have you saving multiple user credentials on your devices? If that is the case, I'd like to suggest your test with private mode or remove these cached data before the test.
BTW, you can also try to use service principal mode to do embed operation, it should be better than master user mode.
