Enable the image link from the sharepoint

[willie_chen]

Power BI does not have a mechanism to retain the authentication to the URL with the image. It's by design and only anonymous links can be used with Image URL. But is it able to be enabled the image link from sharepoint.

Since this is a SharePoint thing as much as it is a PowerBI thing, I have posted it as an issue on the SP UserVoice. Please vote for it, so the issue gets highlighted as important. https://sharepoint.uservoice.com/forums/330318-sharepoint-administration/suggestions/35041747-powerbi-and-sharepoint-image-permission-integration

As a Business Analyst that develops dashboards for corporate clients that use SharePoint, I feel this is a MUST.

Clients need to be able to replace images in dashboards by simply replacing the image that resides in a SharePoint folder, and that is not currently possible.

Due to security considerations clients do not allow images to reside in open cloud services. These images need to be placed in SharePoint Folders with a limited audience (just like Power BI reports have restricted access) and we need Power BI and SharePoint to be able to work together and allow pictures to be retrieved from SharePoint and be properly displayed in all Power BI platforms (desktop, mobile/tablet app, webpage). I am very surprised that with the huge number of corporate customers using Power BI and SharePoint this is not yet available.
