Query parameters in an embed request

Does anyone know of a way to set query parameters as described here from an embed request instead of inside desktop? We are attempting to setup a system where we use power bi to power visualizations within our app for customers to view their data. We need to use some sort of parameter system to insure that the query returns the proper customer data for the visualization.

There's no such parameter in PowerBI.com or in Power BI Embedded, it is just some feature in Power BI Desktop.

How do you embed reports to your application?

If via Power BI Embedded, you can check Row level security with Power BI Embedded.

If via Power BI REST API, you can check Row-level security (RLS) with Power BI.

For both, you can use Power BI Javascript by setting filter when embedding.
