Is it possible, with embedded report, to filter content automatically based on the UID logged ito the app which the report is embedded?
@twalsh0625
Yes.
If the UID you mean is a Power BI Account, you can use Embedding with Power BI users and set Power BI Row Level Security.
If the UID you mean is the userID in your own app, you'll have to use Embedding with non-Power BI users. As to filter or using RLS, RLS used to work for the old embedding model(deprecated), for the new model, the RLS feature is on the roadmap and would be released in next quarter. So at this moment, use filter in the Power BI Javascript API can be the only workaround. See a demo below.
