Do Salesforce users need Power BI licenses to view embedded data visualizations?
tuckera,
Do you follow the guide in this blog to embed report into Salesforce? If so, salesforce users need Power BI pro licenses to view embedded Power BI report.
However, if you want to embed Power BI report for non-Power BI users, you can take steps in this official article:https://pbiwebprod-docs.azurewebsites.net/en-us/documentation/powerbi-developer-using-embed-token/.

I looked at the Embedding a Power BI report into Salesforce page at https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/embedding-a-power-bi-report-into-salesforce/ & it states the info below. So it appears that Salesforce users need Power BI licenses but not Power BI Pro licenses to view embedded Power BI data visualizations in Salesforce.
Sharing a report with members of your organization
To share a report with other members of your organization there are two requirements.- The user needs to have a Power BI account
- They need to be a member of the same Azure Active Directory where the AAD application has been created
Once those requirements are met there are two ways of making the report accessible to them.
- Share the dashboard that contains the report in Power BI (the report GUID will stay the same)
- Link: How to share a dashboard
- Once shared, the user can log into Salesforce, navigate to the report page where they will be asked to log into Azure Active Directory, and view the embedded report
- Create a Power BI group and publish reports there, all members of the group will be able to see the report in Salesforce

tuckera,
Firstly, when sharing dashboard, both report owner and the users you share dashboard to require Power BI pro license.
Secondly, to allow your application access to the Power BI REST API, you need to register your application with Azure Active Directory, for more details, please review this following article.

LydiaI continue to be confused by this wording - and it seems to be in every blog post. I must be missing something very basic here based on no one else is questioning or confused over this step in the overall process.
"register your application" - what is "my application" if I am a Power BI Pro User - is it one of the Workspaces in Power BI Service - or a published application from a workspace.
And the examples keep referencing localhost/redirect with the home page of localhost - is this literal - I assume no... I need to put in the url of the place to go... yes/no - or is that in the embed code and these url fields for redirect and home page are just that - placeholders and I should put in "localhost/redirect"??
