Embedding of Reports using Service Principal NOT WORKING for Premium per user

In our current use case we are using the Pro Licence and then embedding the reports published in this account's workspace using service principal to give access to our customers. 

With the release of Premium per user we upgraded our Pro Licence to Premium per user. All the reports shared were still working as it is using our Service Principal. 
Now problem occurs when we upgrade a workspace to the Premium Capacity with our PPU licence. Now the embedding using service principal breaks giving a '401' error. 
Is any one else facing similar issue ??

Hi @integrationsupp ,

Sorry for delay. According to the description in this official documentation, Power BI don't support service principals in Premium Per User workspaces currently. You can try to disable the capacity for the related workspace if there is no feature for Premium per user be used...
