The Publish to web default is changing and it affects who can create public embed codes

In December 2019, we announced a change to the Publish to web default experience that requires Power BI admins to take action before users can create new publish to web embed codes.

We will start rolling out the change this week and your users will start seeing the updated  behavior in the coming days.
