Is it possible to embed a report on a website with Power BI Pro for select users to view their data?

[Vera14]

Situation: I would like to share a non-public Power BI data tool with roughly 20 users to view only. Each user would have a different level of access to view their own specific data, which I understand can be acheived by implementing row level security. I would like to host the data tool on my existing website (powered by Concrete5) behind a password wall so that only those select users can access it.

Question: What Power BI product is best to acheive this? Does it make sense to buy 20 Power BI Pro liscences for myself and the users, and then embed a report on my website for them to view (after logging in with their credentials)?

Suggestions welcome. Thank you for your help. 🙂

Power BI Embedded is designed for this. You can read more about it here. Power BI embedded analytics overview - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

You can buy 20 Pro licenses, but that means you'd need to add the 20 users to your AAD and assign the pro licenses to them.

Thanks for your reply! Unfortunatetly Power BI Embedded is too expensive for my use. Do you know if it's possible to embed Power BI Pro reports in websites and share it with select users who also have a pro account?

Yes, but they would have to have an account in your tenant, even if it is a guest account. See this article: Distribute content to external guest users with Azure AD B2B - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Hey @Vera14 ,

please be aware that it is possible to share content with external users using a Power BI App following the instructions from the article about external users and content sharing @edhans mentioned above.

But if you want to embed Power BI content into your own web app at least Power BI Embedded licensing is required.
