Hi experts:
I am embedding a PowerBI report into the react app developed by my team, we use service principle as the user logged into our UI do not have to sign in Power BI to see the reports. We have registered an Azure AD app and added the service principle into the workspace. I have gone through https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/embed-sample-for-customers?tabs=node-js and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/overview/powerbi/refresh-token,
the way to get a new embed token in my application is when the embed token expired, the eventHandler will catch the error and get triggered, to get a new embed token;
now I am able to generate a new embed token, and setAccessToken, however, the PowerBIEmbed component wont sense the change in useEffect() and not re-rendered.
Could someone help on this? I also checked the development doc https://github.com/microsoft/powerbi-client-react/blob/master/demo/DemoApp.tsx, however, very limited example I could learn from, thanks a billion!
Hi @Anonymous ,
Did you get any error message? Or you get only a blank page?
Embed Power BI content with service principal and an application secret
Best Regards
Hi there:
what I got after rendering the page is "this content is not available to view"; indicating the embed token is expired, meaning my refreshed token is not feed in into the useEffect hook.
Is it possible I could schedule a support session with PowerBI developer and expand on this issue? This is time sensitive as we have a urgent deliverable by 07/14.
Thanks for supporting!
