[Anonymous]

Hey Guys,

I want to created a web app with JavaScript and want to use azure power BI embed service with my app for clients reports. I want to know is it possible to on off azure power BI embed according to client login-logout with my web app.(azure power BI charges occur according to login time of my web app).

If it possible then how?

Thanks in advanced.

Hi @Anonymous ,

When you embed for customer, you need a Capacity. I think you have bought a Azure Embedding Capacity.  According to your statement, your requirement is to turn off the Capacity by client login-logout with web app to save on expenses. 

Here are two workarounds.

1. You can pause and start your Power BI Embedded capacity in the Azure portal manually.

For reference: Pause and start your Power BI Embedded capacity in the Azure portal

2. You can try to pause and start your Power BI Embedded capacity by API. 

For reference: Programatically start/stop Azure PowerBI capacity for PowerBI Embedded
