Hi @GauravLolge ,
When you embed Power BI using a service principal, the action bar (with things like Export, Save, etc.) is often hidden by default. That’s because the service principal usually only gets “view” permissions for security reasons, so a lot of interactive UI elements including the action bar won’t show up. Its because, If you generate an embed token for a regular user (with higher permissions), you’ll often see the action bar. But with a service principal, you need a few things lined up:
What you should check:
-
Workspace Role: Make sure your service principal is actually a Member or Contributor in the workspace. If it’s only a Viewer, most action bar features will stay hidden.
-
Embed Config: In your JavaScript config, you can request the action bar like this:
settings: {
panes: {
actions: { visible: true }
}
}
- Token Permissions: Service principal embed tokens are usually limited to viewing only. If your use case allows, try embedding as a user (just for testing) to see if the action bar shows up that’s usually the difference.
- Why the Playground is different:The Playground usually uses user-based tokens, which is why you see the action bar there, but not in your own app with a service principal.
With service principal embedding, the action bar is hidden unless you have the right permissions and settings. Double-check your workspace role and embed settings. For more advanced actions, “user owns data” embedding is needed, but that’s a different setup.
