Cannot publish to PowerBI Service within Virtual Machine environment

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

@Rita_Alix 

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.
