Helper IPower BI Embedded in SharePoint Online with different tenant
Power BI allows consumers to come from other tenants but all Power BI authoring must take place within a single tenant. If you are embedding a Power BI report using the SPO Power BI web part, you are considered an author. Therefore, you must have a Power BI Pro licenses and the report you are embedding must be in the same tenant.
Is it posisble to create a new app workspace in the SharePoint tenant and publish the report there? It seems that is our only option when using the no-code approach involving the SPO Power BI web part. The only way I can think to embed a report from a different tenant would be to use custom development with Power BI embedding using the app-owns-data model.

MbalcarekHi Ted,
Thanks for your reply.
I might code up a custom app / web part using spfx as you suggest. We also want some custom pre-filtering and the app will give us more control over the behavior. There are some good samples on github.
As an aside, I have enjoyed several of your courses over the years (both Critical Path and before) as well as the books - THANK YOU for continuing to support the SharePoint community!

Thanks Marcel,
I will be demoing some custom SPFx web parts which implement Power BI embedding next week in a live youtube with Charles Sterling. I will be polishing up my demos this week and should have an SPFx project you can download and run by next week.

Ted, I downloaded your DPBIE content and looked at your cpt-powerbi-spfx-webparts.
Thank you for providing these samples.
I changed the groupIds in the src/webparts *.manifest.json files to match my Power BI workspace.
I have the web parts installed on my O365 CDN and added to a page in SPO.
I see 'Calling to Power BI Service', and empty protected configuration fields 'Select a Workspace', 'Select a Report'.
Q. What general steps do I need to take for this work in my tenant with my Power BI Service? e.g. do I still need to register an Application?
Any help is appreciated.
