    Hi mathewsnjoy,

    As most of us may already be aware, Microsoft has announced a significant decision to converge Power BI Embedded and the Power BI service to advance how Power BI content is embedded in apps. This means we will have one API surface, a consistent set of capabilities and access to the latest Power BI features.

    So as a result, up to June 1st 2017, creating a new Workspace Collections - Workspace model process in a Power BI Embedded scenario was fairly easy to reproduce in a few steps on Azure Portal. You would end up with similar steps with Workspace Collection creating form on last blade,   


    but that's not exactly what happened in your case right? Instead you end up with page untitled Get Started with Power BI Embedded... listing all the steps to prepare for migration to Power BI REST API and in some cases..., no link provided provided as you scroll down. :(


    So the big question is what do we do?   

    In my case, I thought if I can no longer use the "main lobby entry door"..., then maybe I should try a backstage door...

    Backstage door was through Azure CLI... If you follow all the steps as Jon Gallant describes in his blog, you should end up with something.

    It worked in my case as I was able to create a new Workspace Collection-Workspace on Azure Portal. 

    From there you can procede with rest of embedding procedures following steps as described in Jon's blog:

    N.B: Note that in my case this was a temporary solution  to be abl to display reports I created in former Power BI Embedded - Angular 4 demo application during a tech speech session.  I'm fully aware we'll have no choice to move to Power BI Premium Power BI REST API for embedding solutions, unless of course Microsoft comes back on their decision, though I doubt this will happen.

    Hope this helps.

Thank you MawashiKid & Eric for your reply. Seems like need premium account in production to use embedding in our custom web application. I thought a subscription to Power BI embedded (using Azure Subscription) is enough for a developer & my customers using Pro account can access. Mean time I tried ProvisionSample.exe console app found in GitHub to import dashboard into my web application.I was able to achieve what I wanted.But knowing the requirement of Premium for production make me disappointed.
