Embedding to a website

Hello. I am trying to embed two dashboard reports on my website. I have PowerBi Government and the data is publicly available.

 

When I get the embed link for website and add it to my website, it requires users to sign in to view it on my webpage.

 

I am trying to allow anyone to view this dashboard as it's government information - even regular people who don't know what PowerBi is. They are not trying to edit it or do any manipulation. Through looking through help sites, it appears that I will need PowerBi Premium to post it on my website and let anyone look at it - is that true? I would be unable to purchase Premium, as I am the only one in my organization using PowerBi in this way, so a 5,000/month subscription cannot be justified. Is there a workaround? We have software developers on staff.

 

Many thanks.

    Hi  Anonymous ,

     

    I'm guessing you're using "Embeded " not "Publish to web",pls follow the right steps as below:

    Go to Service>open a report>go to the top left corner>"file">"publish to web":(pls note: select "publish to web" not "embeded")

    Then take steps as follows:

    STEP 1STEP 2

     

    Step 3

    Finally you will get an embeded code,this code is public which doesnt require users to login in.Just share the link with the users.

     

     

    Best Regards,
    Kelly

    Have you considered the "publish to web"  alternative? or is embedding an absolute requirement?

      It is "published to the web" in that I took it from my Desktop version and shared publish to web and it's now in my workspace. Is that what you mean? I am trying to share with an audience on my website. I must be confused. Thank you for your help.

        Yes, never mind. Looks like they have removed the "Publish to Web"  option from Power BI Desktop. I don't use that option so I didn't notice the removal.

    hi Anonymous ,

     

    Have you tried to publish it  from online before embedding it?

      mussaenda Yes, that's what I have been doing. It requires users to sign into PowerBi accounts to view the reports.
