Admin to allow user to create embed codes

Hi,

 

the more I read the docs the more confused I am.

We as an organization want to try PowerBI. I am not an admin in the organization.

My questions are two fold:

 

1.

I do have a trial account. However, my Trial-PowerBI-Pro has expired - so now the account is just a "Basic"-Account.

Could I "publish to web" with it?

If not, could someone who signed up for the PowerBI-Pro-Account at https://powerbi.microsoft.com/de-de/pricing/ publish to web?

 

2. As an organization, we do have Microsoft 365. 

Can a GlobalAdmin for our organization (who is a website-owner) "simply" grant me the rights to create embed codes?

Or does he have to sign up for PowerBI-Pro-Trial, assume ownership of the website by adding a TXT to the DNS-entry, and then give me the rights?

Is the role of "PowerBI-Admin" sufficient to allow me to create embed codes?

 

Bye

 

Michael

    Hi. It seems that you want to Publish to Web reports. That feature can be used by a Free (or as you said basic) and Pro User. Both can Publis hto Web reports. The limitation here is that the feature is prevented by default. A Power Bi Admin or Global Admin role in office 365 should change that configuration. That account can login in Power Bi Service site as a Free account (without the trial) and go over the settings symbol on the top right corner -> Tenant Settings. Under tenant settings they can find the generation of embed codes restricted as "only existing ones and can't create new ones". Once they change that to a group in office or the whole company you will be able to Publish to Web with any license.

    Hope this helps,
