    Thank you s o much! We found the issue. For some reason in Admin center under Tenant --> Developer  Setting --> Embed contenet in apps had been removed. Once we specified the security group the issue is resolved.

Hi Merry ,

 

 

how ever when it reaches to return await PowerBiClient.EmbedToken.GenerateTokenAsync(tokenRequest) it fails.

 

I think there should be something wrong in generate embed token. As far as I know, your service prinicpal will generate access token and then generate embed token to your customers. 

You may refer to this offical blog to learn more details about the workflow.

For refernece:

Authentication flows

Generate an embed token

I suggest you to have a test to generate access token and then generate embed token by bear token(access token) in Postman by Rest API.

Using Postman, we use below POST REST API with body information to get the Bearer Token

To use this, we will need to configure the Body as below,

Then generate embed token in Postman.

Embed Token - Generate Token
