HI pietrodig,

I'd like to suggest you take a look the limitation list if it suitable for your scenario:

Local Storage API in Power BI Visuals - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Data can be shared between visuals with the same GUID, same environment, and for the same user only.

If the browser is in kiosk mode, local storage availability might differ between browsers, and by the kiosk owner's settings.

There are many reasons this API might not be supported. For example, the environment might not be supported or the browser’s local storage isn't available. We recommend checking the status of the API before using the set/get/remove methods. Error handling is important since even if the API is supported, it might fail.

Regards,

Xiaoxin Sheng

    Dear Anonymous,

    Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, it does not address my question. According to the documentation, the API is supported in several environments, including SaaS Embed.

    Could you please clarify if the SaaS Embed use case covers both the web URL embed and the publish to web embed, or only one of these? If it is only one, which one is it? If it does not cover these, what are the specific use cases covered by SaaS Embed?

    Please let me know if my questions are too technical for this forum and if I should post them elsewhere.

    Many thanks in advance!
