SSO with Graph API and Power BI Embed

[webermi]

I'm building an Angular 2 JavaScript app with the Microsoft Graph API currently.

It requires that I register an Azure AD app with the following URL:

https://apps.dev.microsoft.com/#/appList

(Also see, https://github.com/microsoftgraph/angular2-connect-rest-sample)

I want to embed a Power BI dashboard into the web app.  It requires that I register a separate app with Azure AD using the following URL:

https://dev.powerbi.com/apps

(Also see, https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-developer-integrate-dashboard/)

In order to leverage both the Graph API and Power BI Embed, I have to register two separate apps with Azure AD and the user has to login twice.

Is there a way I can just grant Power BI permissions to the Graph API

I don't know too much about Graph API and Azure AD. Could you try to add an extra API for the Power BI registered APP in azure portal? Then I guess probably you maybe able to use a single AAD app? Since your question is actually more related to AAD, to get better repsonse, I'd suggest you post in the dedicated AAD forum.

I think that's it!  I didn't see the ability to add an API.

Eventually, I think Power BI apps will also register in the centeralized https://apps.dev.microsoft.com.  For now, I think just create it in https://dev.powerbi.com/apps and then manage it AAD is the best route.

Really appreciate it, Eric!
