Helper VCan PBI Server report and app URLs be changed?
The URL for a PBI app is ugly and not user friendly: https://app.powerbi.com/groups/me/apps/bdebac4d-176b-4a77-84aa-9ea43588a559/reports/47dd430b-0b29-47c9-bba6-0defbaa44a28/ReportSection?ctid=5d135798-0ae4-4f20-a663-a223e2cd1f4e
Same thing for the reports which are displayed in the app: https://app.powerbi.com/groups/cb7539d7-6742-45ab-8e40-fdc69847fc24/reports/47dd430b-0b29-47c9-bba6-0defbaa44a28/ReportSection
How can we go about changing these to something more user friendly? Is that even possible?
Thank you!

I don't think you can change the url of Power Bi. The only way to have something like this changed is if you Embed Power Bi in your site and then you can use the name you want for this.

BillyT_350That's a good idea, but I don't think it's a feasible solution because:
1. What's the point of PBI server if you just embed everything?
2. Security for embedded reports is a nightmare, I'm told. We've also had compatibilty and functionality issues with embedded reports.

I don't agree. But anyway, why don't you let security to Power Bi. You can embed easily with a link and let microsoft to handle the login.
Like this:
"Embed Website or portal" should give you a link that will ask for microsoft login in order to see the report. You can have this iframe in any website with the name you want and let security to microsoft.
