Embed link from Power Point document from Sharepoint in content area in Power BI App

[sarahmtz7]

Wanted to share an issue we ran across when trying to use an embed link from Power Point document from Sharepoint in content area in Power BI App.

After troubleshooting several different options, we are only able to use as "new page" instead of the content area. Ideally we want the power point to open in the content area of the App, but we've settled on it opening in a new tab instead.

Short analysis: There seems to be a token handoff issue with the new navigation when choosing “Content Area” option within the Open In selection. Other choices operate as expected. Seems similar to a double-hop authentication, without the Kerberos authentication actually working.

Possible Issue: Would have to change SharePoint tenant governance to allow anonymous sharing. We have specific governance and reasons why is restricted. Time to implement is weeks to never, as governance might not allow this tenant-wide sharing change.

@v-kkf-msft Thank you! Yes, we've gone through all of these steps with no success on the clients tenant. On our tenant this works correctly as you described. I'll add a screenshot of the error.

Hi @sarahmtz7 ,

I can not reproduct your problem, try granting the users who need to see the PowerPoint in Power BI App the read access to that SharePoint site to see if it works.
