Unable to view Power BI Service API in app registration

I'm messing with Power BI Embedded by following this tutorial, however, when I try to grant permissions to the tenant I don't see the Power BI API. I have logged in to the same account in the Portal that I used to register the app in Power BI. Am I missing something else to get it to show up?

Thanks, Dale!

 

Unfortunately, I'm still not sure about how to move forward. I've just tried creating an admin user in the AAD tenant and was able to register a PBI Embedded app through there, but there is still no Power BI API that I can grant permissions to listed when I list the APIs through the portal.

Hi @chrono803,

 

1. Can this admin user log in Power BI Service?

2. Regarding the "multi-factor authentication", if your embedded scenario is App Owns Data, you need to turn off the MFA (multi-factor authentication) or use a new user who doesn't have MFA.

Hey, @v-jiascu-msft! Thanks for the reply!

 

I did search and nothing showed up. However, and I'm embarrassed to say, that I believe it wasn't showing due to me using a different login than the one I used to create the Power BI app registration. 

 

Once I figured that out I do see a Power BI Service item listed and I have granted the non-admin permissions.

Unfortunately, testing the APIs out with a sample app is giving this error:

 

"Due to a configuration change made by your administrator, or because you moved to a new location, you must use multi-factor authentication"

 

 

Hi @chrono803,

 

I think you need to make some changes of your tenant. Please refer to
