X-PowerBI-Error-Info: GroupsNotEnabled

Hello, I'm trying to embed a report using the "User Owns Data" flow.

The web application I am building is able to get an access token from Azure AD and send it down to the client's browser. There I pass it to the PowerBI JavaScript client, as described under the "User Owns Data" section on this page.

For some people in my office, the report appears as soon as they load the page. For other people, the report seems to hang while loading data, and by inspecting the console, it's clear that a 401 response has been received:

HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Content-Length: 0
Server: Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://app.powerbi.com
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
X-PowerBI-Error-Info: GroupsNotEnabled
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains
X-Frame-Options: deny
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
RequestId: b0bfdd30-192e-80f7-f75c-4d5fe6460906

The response has no body.

What does the "X-PowerBI-Error-Info" header with the value "GroupsNotEnabled" mean? Does it have anything to do with the fact that a user does not have a pro license?

Hi @starget,



Does it have anything to do with the fact that a user does not have a pro license?

What SKU(A, EM and P) for embedding are you using?

 

As far as I know, if you're using EM or P SKUs, the end users don't need to have pro licenses. However, if you're using A SKU for embedding, then the end user has to have a pro license to view the embedded report on your application. Smiley Happy
