    MateuszBI,

     

    When that embaded is needed? It is like its required for production envirenmnent only? Can you please point relation between this article and embeding?

    When you need to view report via thrid-party app, you may need to register an access token and embed your report into the app.

     

    Regards,

My understanding is that the power bi embedded model is actually not license based but an Azure consumption based service.  Your subscription is through Azure and it is based on a certain number of view refreshes over a timeframe.

 

Since the visuals are embedded into your application the end user does not have to have a Power Bi pro license (the app uses a token to authenticate with the power bi service).

 

To develop / publish I still think that user has to have the Power Bi pro license.

 

I knew more about this a year ago, but havent used embedded so things could have changed.

If so, someone please correct me.
