How to set up users for power BI app

Good day

 

I have a company which needs to distribute power bi tiles to 100s of users. We are currently developing a Meteor app to implement functionality the client is looking for and would like to embed power bi tiles in the app to distribute the data to their users. We can't create power bi for all client users so I'm thinking to create the user accoutns as follow:

 

- Power bi "admin" user which creates and shares the tiles tho company users 

- "Company A", "Company B" or "Company C" users with which the 'admin' users shares view rights of dashboards. "Campany A" is a power bi user. 

- App users belonging to "Company A" can the authenticate to Power BI with "Company A" cresidentials to view tiles shared with "Company A"

 

Thus we have the 100s of company users in our app which then authenticates with the rest API as the "Company A" power bi user to view the dashboard tiles in the app as shared with "Company A" by the "Admin" user.

 

Does this user case seem doable? and what problems should I expect with this approach?
