Hi Red217 

If you can use parameter to connect to 3rd party data source successfully in Power BI Service, I think you just need to configure Power BI Embedded correctly, then you can use this function as well in Power BI Embedded.

There are two kinds of Power BI Embedded.

One is embed for organization, this way need your end user have Power BI account in your organization. Each time your end user need to login in their Power BI account if they want to see Power BI Embedded report in your Web portal.

For reference: Embed Power BI content using a sample embed for your organization application

Another is embed for customer, by this way, your end user doesn't need to be a Power BI user, they doesn't need to authenticate.

    Thanks, Rico, 

     

    my point is that our parameters are different for each user for that 3rd party tool,

    so we will need a way for us to "pass them through" dynamically and not via the "settings" in Dataset, is it possible ?
