Hi bheltzel,

 

For a Power BI report URL, you can add a query string parameter of ?rs:Embed=true.

 

http://myserver/reports/powerbi/Sales?rs:embed=true

 

Once you have your URL, you can create an iFrame within a web page, to host the report. 

<iframe width="800" height="600" src="http://myserver/reports/powerbi/Sales?rs:embed=true" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"></iframe>

 

For more details, please see:

Best regards,

Hi Yuliana, thanks for the reply. I actually have completed these steps from the documentation already and they are working as expected. My issue is that the Report Server requires credentials to see the report. How can I pass the credentials in the application so that any user (even ones that don't have access to the report server) can view the report?

    Hi bheltzel,

     

    As mentioned in above link, 

    The user who is connecting to your custom app also needs to have access to the Power BI report on the report server, this is great for internal applications but harder for extranet scenario’s. A solution to this is also on the road map.
