    Hi Yerkhan,

     

    Regarding the error, please refer to #grant-admin-consent-to-enterprise-apps-in-the-azure-portal for a solution. Please also refer to the snapshot below.

    Get-token-of-report

     

    In order to get the embed token, we need to get a valid access token first, then invoke the REST API with it to get the embed token. Please refer to the snapshots below.

    1. Get an access token.

    POST https://login.microsoftonline.com/replace_with_your_tenant_id/oauth2/token
    resource: https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api

    Get-token-of-report2

    2. Invoke the "generate embed token" API.

    Get-token-of-report3

    If there aren't any roles, you don't need to specify the identities.

     

    Best Regards,

Hi NEbdf,

 

Since you can use the password to get token with .net application, that's hard to say what went wrong. Can you share a snapshot of how you did it? Please mask the sensitive parts.

    Hi NEbdf,

     

    All seems good. If it's a web app, the client_secret is needed. But the error message shouldn't be this one. 

    If I use a wrong password, I got the same error message. I would suggest you check the username and password again though it sounds impossible. Maybe you have multi-tenant?

       Hi v-jiascu-msft

      the app in Azure is configured as a native app. Seems to be the default when using the PowerBI configurator. Should PowerBI embed also work when its a Web-App/API?

      Edit:
      Just tested everything with seting up a Web-App/API and delivering the app secret. Same error message as before unfortunately.

        Hi NEbdf,

         

        That's too weird. I would suggest you file a support ticket here. I will appreciate it if you can share the cause and the solution.
