Hi,
Following the best practise / examples for a Power BI embedded solution where we own the data we picked up that a separate active directory from our main corporate one for embedding is considered the best approach
So, we did the following
- setup a sub-active directory within our azure subscription
- created a proxy / service account to use for embedding
I am now struggling to assign a license to the proxy / service user
How do I go about this?
Thanks!

Thanks for the message,
we have tried this, the user appears as an external user because of the different Active Directory domain:
This does not seem to make any difference, leaving the user as a Pro Trial User still.
What could we have missed?
