I have an update from my dev team. They are getting an embed token when using the second ID; however, the report isn't rendering, and they're getting a 401. Here are two screenshots:

 

 

When they switch to my account, the report renders. Also, just to double check, the Group ID is in the URL for the report while looking at it in powerbi.com, right? I seem to recall your video saying that. The URL also includes the Report ID.

Ah! that's helpful. i thought you were getting a 401 on the GenerateToken call. So, if you are getting a 401 when trying to embed a report, the master account being used doesn't have access to the report or the App workspace, or isn't an admin of the app workspace. It's a permission issue. They should be an admin of the app workspace where that report is published to.
