Allow to pass parameters to an iframe for Power BI Embedded

[paulvega]

Scenario: We have a website with Power BI embedded analytics and details provided by SSRS reports. On the top you could see the parameters for the reports (multiple value, single value, all). It would be great if we could pass (securely) parameters to power bi embedded so that the datasource only shows certain data. Imagine that I would have to share this dataset for several customers and I want to filter data by customer instead of creating one datasource for each of them. Thanks!

any update on this ?

There are something new about this great idea? I'm using the C# version (https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-Developer-Samples/tree/master/App Owns Data). Does anyone knows if there are some alternative to pass this parameter?

The FILTER solution may break the secutiry of my application, because i'm using the version "App owns data" and I'm using only one powerBi premium user for all of my clients. If they change the URL from browser, they would see confidencial information of other client.

So that means I cannot pass some date values from outside the report into the embedded report that filters it out??

It's 2021 and still no luck with implementing this?

Still waiting on this, it would be good if we could pass a parameter. So we can change the database for the dataset - so we can have one report/dataset for all the databases with the same schema. We have a multi-tenant app so each customer has his own database. With current PowerBi embedded support, it is a pain in the ass since when adding a new customer we also need to create a new dataset /report so we can not automate this.

Here (https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=c4cf628e-c617-4e86-8655-56e201b4a693) people are also asking about adding parameters, but then specifically to use them with stored procedures. Maybe merge these two, to get more votes?

I am flabbergasted that having the ability to set parameter values via the URL or API hasn't been implemented yet. From the application the calls to the API should be as simple as possible. I want to have the complexity of the filtering be done inside the report. The expert building the reports should take care of this, not the application developer.
