GenerateToken API Call

Hello!  I'm trying to embed apps in my website and have run into a 401 UnAuthorized error from the GenerateToken API method. I'm following the embed for your organization approach and am using credentials (username/password) so my API can call the PowerBI API.  I can embed reports from workspaces just fine, but cannot embed reports from apps.  For some reason, the GenerateToken method rejects reports from apps.  Is there some setting I'm missing in my user or is embedding reports from apps not supported?

 

Thank you!
