Setting up Azure AD for Power BI Application access
Anonymous I originally signed up ithrough my work email. Then later discovered the Power Bi rest service for performing realtime updates and learned that i had to setup the Azure AD authentication in order to use it. Which is where im at today.
What this boils down to is the all important provisioining process :-)
When you first sign up to Power BI, what happens is that Microsoft creates a tenant for you behind the scenes. Automated, of course and following some checks against the domain name etc.
I'll skip technical detail, but two key things happen:
- Your location is established in order to determine which regional data centre the tenant is hosted in
- An Azure AD instance is created as part of the tenant
It's the Azure AD bit that I feel is important in your case.
Currently, you have your work domain set up in an Azure AD instance. From what I can gather, you then set up a second Azure AD instance for the purpose of some configuration. So in effect, you now have two Azure AD instances.
I think the way forward for you would be to gain access to the Azure AD instance that has been created for the domain of your work account and set up whatever it is you need there.

Hope this all proves helpful.
