How to authenticate PowerBI Report Server with default user

Hi Team,

 

We are embeding Power BI Server reports (paginated reports \ .rdl files) created using PowerBI Report Builder using IFrame tag in .net application.

 

Currently every use who is logging into .net application has to have an access even on PowerBI Server - otherwise report doesn't show up. As there are many users - we wanted to have this authentication using one default user (AD or System User). 

 

Is it possible to authenticate to PowerBI Server using a default user? 

 

Any leads here would be greately appreciated.

 

Thanks

Mandar

    An alternative approach would be to just create an AD group and give that group access to the reports or folder on report server. Then you can manage your list of allowed users in one place. Or if everyone in the organization is meant to have access you could just add one of the default groups like "Domain Users"
