Dynamic pull of data via web api in workspace

Hi

 

We have an embedded Power BI dashboard that displays tenant details.  The dashboard uses an API to connect to the data in the desktop and we can filter the API with the Tenant ID with no issues.

 

But, the problem lies that, it's great to only pull the specific tenant data in the desktop but when we embed it in our front end, we don't know what tenant ID data we need.  And, we can't publish the Power BI dashboard with all the tenant ID's and then filter based on a URL to the Workspace.

 

So, how do we connect directly to our datasource using an API Call and filter by Tenant ID only providing the data necessary in the Power BI Service?

 

I'm hoping that makes sense

    Hi Cathryn ,

    After embedding the report to the front end, the dataset will be available to all people, we can't filter the data based on the tenant ID.

      Thank you, Teige

       

      I figured as much but wanted to be sure I was correct.

       

      Do you know of anyone that has found a work around?

       

      Thank you
