Embedding Services or self-embedding and which license is required plus automated AI

Good day,

My objective is to provide 3 embedding options into our webpage product

I am not sure if I can trial the embedding services or self-embedding that refreshes the pbi dashboards/reports on webpage

Does Embedding provide row-level security, meaning the embedding dashboard/report is filtered per client login or some method or do I use the self-embedding and hardcode the client personalized/filtered PBI report in the webpage?

Objective Embedding Services or self-embedding:

    • 1:  Static Reporting where no drill down but refreshes
    • 2: Analytical Reporting, drill down dashboarding
    • 3: Analytical Reporting with automated AI, PBI narratives

The goal is that clients do not require an pbi license, can the options above be done

I want to trial and explore, please help & guide me what the best methods are. 

What license "capacity or per user or premium" options do i require for the embedding-services or self-embedding that will provide me all 3 options with the PBI automated AI narratives 

 

Kindly provide examples, plz i hope this is possible

Regards

Hi @icassiem 

1. For your first question , what does "could I not have the webpage reference different pbi dashboards that are filtered per client" mean ?

2. For the second question , embedded reports respect all item permissions and data security through row-level security (RLS) and Analysis Services tabular model object-level security .

3. For the third question , Power BI embedded report supports drilldown, slicing . As for AI , there are no related features introduced.

 

Based on your current situation, my advice is that you need to determine exactly which embedded report method you are using. Each has its strengths and weaknesses, and there is no one way to meet all your needs. You need to learn the trade-offs and find a suitable solution based on the priority of your needs.

Hi Alisa, Thank You

Points 1 & 2, is both around the RLS as the embedding into our product website for external clients that does not have PBI license or AzureAD accounts on our tenant. Hence why im thinking i must reference a diff report per client based on a login. How do I RLS database on external cleint logins?

 

Point3. Kindly provide the different embedded report methods and which is the prefered for premium license that has AI

 

Please help, Regards

 

Hi,

Any ideas, please?

Hi @icassiem 

If you want clients to access the embedding dashboard/report without licenses , you can publish to web , but if you use the function of publish to web , you cannot use RLS . So this is in conflict with your needs. I will provide you with links related to embed, hope it will help you .

Oh Gosh... feeling a bit stressed on this as I need this to work

1. On the self-embedded with scripting, could I not have the webpage reference different pbi dashboards that are filtered per client?

2. Will the new embedding service not work as it does not provide RLS?

3. Does the embedding allow for drilldown, slicing and auto AI if published with premium license?
