Re: Integrate Power BI report (deployed in service...

Anonymous · ‎05-03-2017

Hi All,

I am able to display a Power BI embedded report in Edit mode following the steps at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/power-bi-embedded/power-bi-embedded-save-reports

I would like to do similar activity using Power BI report deployed in service. I am able to integrate a Power BI report into web app following the steps at https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-developer-integrate-report/. This opens the report in View mode. Please note that I have tried to used the settings used in Power BI embedded but it does not work with the report deployed in service.

Please let me know of how I can integrate the Power BI report in Edit mode.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

Vinayak

A simple demo is as below. For more completed demo, check embed-a-report-into-an-app.

<html>

 <script src="https://microsoft.github.io/PowerBI-JavaScript/demo/node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js"></script>

<script src="https://microsoft.github.io/PowerBI-JavaScript/demo/node_modules/powerbi-client/dist/powerbi.js"></script>
 
<script type="text/javascript">
function clickToEmbeded(){
 
var token =   $('#accesstoken').val();
var embedUrl =  $('#embedUrl').val();


var embedConfiguration = {
    type: 'report',
	//replace your token here
    accessToken: token, 
	//replace your embedUrl here
    embedUrl: embedUrl 

}; 
 

var $reportContainer = $('#reportContainer');
 
var report = powerbi.embed($reportContainer.get(0), embedConfiguration);


}

</script>
   Paste your access Token:  <input id='accesstoken' type="text" name="fname"><br>
   Paste the embedUrl: <input id='embedUrl' type="text" name="lname"><br>
<button type="button" onclick="clickToEmbeded()" >  click me to embed </button>
 
<div id="reportContainer" style="width:1600;height:900" ></div>

</html>

Hi @Eric_Zhang

I am able to open the report deployed in service in Edit mode.

However when I click on File -> Save option, I am getting the below error.

Something went wrong

Unable to save the report
Please verify you have the right permissions or contact support. If you contact support, please provide these details.

I believe this is because of the access token generated has 'Read' permission instead of 'Read Write' permission.

The code to generate token is,

AuthenticationResult AR = AC.AcquireTokenByAuthorizationCode(code, new Uri(redirectUri), cc);

which should be changed to generate Read-Write token.

The code to generate Read - Write token in Embedded approach is

var embedToken = PowerBIToken.CreateReportEmbedToken(this.workspaceCollection, this.workspaceId, report.Id, null, null, "Report.ReadWrite")

Please suggest.

Thanks,

Vinayak

I'm not quite sure where you do this operation " I click on File -> Save option", could you be more specific with a snapshot?
