Automatically provision Power BI accounts?

Hi,

 

We have our Reports embedded within a custom web application on our intranet.

 

Users are able to view reports without issues and SSO ensures they don't need to authenticate, all good. The issue is if a user has never logged into PowerBI.com the reports do not load, even if they've been assigned a Power BI Pro license.

 

If they log into PowerBI.com once this issue disappears, but this is not suitable for roll out. Note we have automatic deployment of Apps enabled, this isn't the issue here.

 

Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?

 

Thanks

    Hi Kashinoda ,

     

    After assigning Power BI Pro license to a user, this account has to be activated before he is being able to use service functions. So, logging into Power BI Service can activated his account, then, the embedded report was accessable to him.
