As the Subject describe I'm unable to apply data snapshots (this because I want the security filters remain with the report) in the PowerPoint Add-In for PowerBI embed informs. I just can use Live data and Public snapshot and the Snapshot appears grayed I was thinking this is maybe for only premium workspace but currently I'm able to apply this, snapshot, to only one report published through an app but only one app.
Does someone know why this behaviour?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @standard-io
I would recommend looking at the requirements and it could possibly be that you do not have the permissions on the report to create the snapshot?

Hi @standard-io,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community forum.
Thank you @GilbertQ for your prompt reply and for providing the related document.
Snapshots in the Power BI PowerPoint Add-In are supported only for reports in Premium/Pro workspaces and published apps with appropriate permissions.
Check Manage Permissions in Power BI Service and re-publish the app.
For your Reference I'm sharing the snapshots

I'm the report owner and set the permission in the samantic dataset too. I'll make test with different permission level and If I get that functionality work out I'll publish the solution and the cause to help other members in the community with this issue.
