Cannot publish to PowerBI Service within Virtual Machine environment

[Rita_Alix]

Hi all,

I have Admin rights in this VM environment but having problem to publish to Powerbi Service (cannot log in from PBI Desktop to publish), error message:

Your sign-in was successful but does not meet the criteria to access this resource. For example, you might be signing in from a browser, app, or location that is restricted by your admin.

Anybody who have the same experience and solution?

Thank you and best regards,

Rita

Hi @Rita_Alix ,

Please follow the steps below, if users get the message “Your sign-in was successful but does not meet the criteria to access this resource.”

1. Open a new browser window and sign in to Microsoft Azure (portal.azure.com), using your work account credentials.

3. On the Azure Active Directory blade, select Enterprise applications.
4. On the Enterprise applications blade, under Security, select Conditional access.
5. Select the name of the policy (Example: Exclude Printix).
6. Under Access controls select Grant.
7. Select the controls to be enforced. Select Select.
8. Under Assignments select Cloud apps.

Sign-in is related to active directory authentication and the error message looks like the issue is related to conditional access policy. So I would suggest you check with your active directory admins to see if they have applied some conditional access policy.
