Unable to create Power BI Embedded Service
I am experiencing the same issue(s) to a T.

More information (I hope it will help somebody): I have an Office365 subscription ([email protected]) that seems to be connected to a workspace in Azure that doesn't have an Azure subscription. Lemme explain :-) My small company has an Azure subscription, my boss pays for and is the owner of the subscription. In that Azure account we have a few "directories", one of them is his default directory and it's something like lanxxxxxgmail.onmicrosoft.com. I am a member of that directory and an "owner" of the Azure subscription. We also have an organizational workspace or directory called somedomain.com (the same as my main work email account). So I wonder if somehow when I create a PBI embedded service it's trying to create it against our organizational account, (directory, workspace, whatever) and not the Azure directory that has the Azure services set up under it.
As an added twist, I sat down with the boss and we tried to create the PBI embedded service with him logged in to his default directory. He got an error message stating he needed to create the service on his Organizational account. Soooo, we tried to transfer the Azure subscription to the organizational workspace but that process failed. The error message he got implied that he needed a different type of Azure subscription in order to transfer it. The subscription is called "Pay-As-You-Go". We were afraid to make drastic changes for fear of interrupting services that we use internally.
That's where I am now. I've had a support ticket opened with Microsoft since late June. I've spoken with a support person but am waiting for further help.
