Why the powerBI Embedded Reports using Native Application while registering the App with Azure AD ?

[Jayendran]

Hi,

I'm following this doc where the PowerBI Embedded Application is registering as a Native App with Azure AD 

May I know what is the reason for using this as a Natvie? Instead of Normal Web APP ?

P.S: I know the Native app is used for registering the Native application where we don't want to store the client secrets in the End User Device.

Hi @Jayendran,

I found some useful forum links. Please refer to App-Type-Selection-for-Embedding-content-for-Non-Power-BI-users.

In my opinion, the Client Secret binds the access token with the application while the embedded token represents the master account. I would suggest you go to azure/en-US/home?forum=WindowsAzureAD for more professional support.
