Unable to create Power BI Embedded Service
Me again. :-)
I got some info from my support request. While running a Fiddler trace, I navigated to the Azure screen to create an Embedded service and got the usual error message:
You are currently signed into the 'lanxxxxxxxxgmail (default directory)' directory which is not recognized by Power BI. To be able to create Power BI Embedded resource, you can sign up for Power BI. After that, you will need to close this blade to continue. Or, you can switch to a directory that is recognized by Power BI.
The Fiddler trace revealed:
GET https://api.powerbi.com/powerbi/globalservice/v201606/clusterDetails/
401 Unauthorized ()
And the MS Tech sent a follow up email stating:
As per the fiddler trace, we see 401 unauthorized errors.
I see that you are using two different directories/tenants. •@somedomain.com - O365 Subscription
@lanxxxxxxxgmail.onmicrosoft.com - Azure Subscription
I did reach out to the Azure team and found that we cannot merge two directories/tenants.
The possible solution could be to cancel the Azure Subscription for @lanxxxxxxxxgmail.onmicrosoft.com tenant and add it to the @somedomain.com tenant.
So, my next step will be to have the boss set up another Azure subscription under the organizational tenant. We'll see...
