Hi, we're trying to embed a report into a SharePoint Communication Site, we have Premium Capacity but some users are not able to see the report as they're not members of the App Workspace (don't have...

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    >>I read that they need to have a PowerBI PRO license...but we have Premium Capacity so that shouldn't be a limitation....also, I read that I need to give access to all users to the report in the workspace, but I can't add +6000 emails accounts

    In fact, other communities also mentioned that, it seems like current premium license not works for 'embed to sharepoint' feature. (It only allow pro license users to view)

     

    I'd like to suggest you open support ticket to contact power bi team for better support. And submit an idea about improve 'embed to sharepoint' feature if current power bi not support this.

    submit a support ticket

    Hi Simon, it looks like for embedding a report you need to get the link from the published App, not the report in the workspace...the only issue is that the end user has to load the app at least once so it gets registered in their own web service, after that, they'll be able to see the embedded report. 

     

    Hope that helps!

      Hi Vjalilh,

       

      Thanks for your reply but unfortunatly it did not help - the users still have to be added to the app and can not be inherit from the sharepoint communication site.

       

      I think it is a bit odd - all the datasources (sharepoint lists) are placed on the sharepoint site which all users have access to. In other words, what Power BI does is to turn it into a visual overview. No other datasources are used.

       

      Do we know whether it is something the Power BI team is planning to work on - sharing dashboards in large organisations? I mean, the communication site a lot of users two places (sharepoint + Power BI) makes it very dificult.

       

      Best,

      Simon.
