Hi,

 

When you provide an effective identity in the generateToken request it should either be an effective identity for the paginated report or an effective identity for the Power BI dataset.

If you want the username to be the identity passed to the report then should should provide the reportId and not the datasetId. Something like this:

 new EffectiveIdentity(username: upn, , reports: new List<string> { reportId })

In addition you can specify another identity for the dataset, with the roles, etc.

 

Thanks,

Amos

Thank you, that was very helpful. In order to make it work, I had to provide both identities (one for report, one for dataset) otherwise I would get a bad request error. Would you happen to have any documentation on using multiple identities? I don't think I would have ever thought to do that, so thank you.
