Setting up Azure AD for Power BI Application access
Hello folks,
Im attemtping to complete the necessary steps to use the Power BI rest API to manage my data sets. Below is a list of the steps I have taken and the issue im having.
- Created BI Service account using my work email address and created some dashboards with some imported CSV data. Thought this was cool and decided i wanted to move forward with a realtime dashboard and the Power BI Rest API to provide the and mange the dataset.
- Read the documentation and setup an Azure Account and configured a new domain called FXOPowerBI in the Azure Active Directory called [email protected].
- Set the country for PowerbiAppuser@fxopowerbi.onmicrosoft.com to US.
- Attempted to register for Power BI Service. On the first screen i enter my work email address since the PowerbiAppuser@fxopowerbi.onmicrosoft.com doesnt exist on a mailbox i have access to. It tells me i already have a licenses and dont need to register and then takes me to a login page.
- I enter the credentials for PowerbiAppuser@fxopowerbi.onmicrosoft.com and then ist starts setting up something. it spends about 2-3 minutes doing this and then returns a page saying Something went wrong.
Please try again later.TECHNICAL DETAILS

So i attempted this again today on another Azure AD and found that the issue seems to be when regsitering for power BI using my newly created AD app account. it wants to send me an email to complete the registration but I wont/dont have an inbox for that account.
jsalassi I'll step in to throw out some ideas, but I'm not an expert in this area. I think your issue revolves around the fact that you signed up with your work email. Are you using this with your company, or are you trying to make this a skunk works project?
Hi jsalassi, can you try logging in directly through app.powerbi.com with your newly created Azure account? There appears to be a problem retrieving your account through the provisioning service if you have not logged on once to the service.
