Managed Identity with Power BI and Azure Key Vault

[hakan_brovell]

Hi,

I have a question regarding Power BI and Azure Key Vault. Does Power BI handle the use of managed identity for authenticate with Azure Key Vault or do you need to use a service principal?

You do not need a Key Vault because the Managed Identity is available to other Azure Resources. You just have to give RBAC permissions to say a Container in a Storage Account (Blob Reader) and the Managed Identity in a Workspace has those permissions.
