Power BI Embedded questions
InsulaBIDev: Is Azure subscription mandantory for Power BI Embedded?
I don't have Azure subcription. Can i implement a poc like you with out the subcriptiion?
Yes Sunkari I believe you need an Azure subscription as you need to set up a Power BI Workspace Collection, and either a Azure SQL database or Azure SQL Datawarehouse (or HDInsights) - all done through the Azure Portal or using the API (which requires Azure credentials). I think you get one month of free credits when you sign up to Azure?
It is worth setting up a poc so that you understand the current limitations of of the Embedded beta offering so that you can track if and when these limitations are overcome and you can provide feedback to the team. My experience with the Power BI team so far is that they will move quickly to fill in the gaps.
I followed the steps here:

Few more additions to above questions:
1) Can we create a workspace inside workspacecollection in Azure portal?
2) What level security is implemented?It seems it is implemented at Workspace level, is it correct? If no, we can implement at report level?
3) How can i implement row level security in this approach?
Hi Sunkari,
My response to your questions below:
1) Creating workspace is currently not available in Azure from the front end interface, it can be done through code. We are also waiting for this feature to be available on Azure so that we can manage workspaces from Azure.
2) I think you can implement report level security via ReportEmbedTokens. Following URLs can be helpful.

3) You can implement a RLS as well. Please have a look at the below URL:
