Microsoft EmployeeHelp with setting up PowerBI with service principal
Hi,
I'm having trouble figuring out how to create and configure a PowerBI report using a service principal per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/embed-service-principal . I understand steps 1 and 2, but I don't understand how to reach Tenant Settings in the Admin Portal for step 3. Can someone help me out? May have additional questions after that step.

If you don't see these setting then most likely you are not a tenant admin.
Hi sacali ,
It appears that you are using the embedded analytics solution embedded for customers (also known as app owns data), which allows you to build an app that uses non-interactive authentication against Power BI. Users don't need to sign in using Power BI credentials to view the embedded content. Your app uses the service principal or master user to authenticate.The service principal is one of the authentication methods that can be used to let an Azure AD application access Power BI service content and APIs. Before you can enable the "Allow service principals to use Power BI APIs" option in the Power BI Service Developer admin settings, you have to make sure you have Global admin or Power BI admin roles.

You can refer to the video below to embed Power BI Report for Customers, which has detailed steps and explanations.
