Hi matt_b ,

 

403 error stands ：

  • Bad access token
  • Embed type doesn't match token type

GenerateToken can fail, with effective identity supplied, for a few different reasons.

  • Dataset doesn't support effective identity
  • Username wasn't provided
  • Role wasn't provided
  • DatasetId wasn't provided
  • User doesn't have the correct permissions

To determine the problem, try the following steps:

  • Execute get dataset. Is the property IsEffectiveIdentityRequired true?
  • Username is mandatory for any EffectiveIdentity.
  • If IsEffectiveIdentityRolesRequired is true, Role is required.
  • DatasetId is mandatory for any EffectiveIdentity.
  • For Analysis Services, the master user has to be a gateway admin.

Please check if it helps.

 

 

Best regards.

    Thanks for getting back to me Caitlyn,

     

    I've executed get_dataset as adviced. I can confirm these values:

        "isEffectiveIdentityRequired":false,
        "isEffectiveIdentityRolesRequired":false,
        "isOnPremGatewayRequired":false


    I'm not putting any Effective Identity into the token request, which seems correct given those values:

    /*
    * Get embed token for the report
    */
    var tokenRequest = new GenerateTokenRequest(accessLevel: TokenAccessLevel.View, datasetId: powerBIReport.DatasetId.ToString(), allowSaveAs: false);

    var embedToken = powerBIClient.Reports.GenerateTokenInGroup(workspaceId, powerBIReport.Id, tokenRequest);

     

    However, my problem isn't that GenerateTokenInGroup is failing - I'm successfully getting an embed token, it's just that when using that embed token the angular component is failing to correctly render the report.
