POWER BI Embedding

After creating my report,now I want my client to access this report on our ERP.

I want to know what is the difference between Secure embed and APP owns data ??

APP owns data is more expensive!

With secure embed, we can filter(using some javascript code ) our URL so we can filter the report based on the user role (authentification ERP).

Another thing what happen behind the scene when we choose secure embed?

Hi @rima_ch ,

 

  • Secure Embed:

 The Secure Embed is a secure method of sharing, that only authorized users will have access to the data.(Users need to either have a Power BI pro account or report to be shared with them through embedded licensing) And as a result, row-level security is possible. And URL filters is supported.

 

  • Power App

With Power BI apps, you can share content with end users, without the worry to change something in the development environment ---End users will be able only to view the reports. If you want to share Power BI content with people outside of your company,please refer to : https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-expands-access-to-intelligence-for-external-guest-...

You could also use URL filter for report in app.(need ctid), for example : ?filter=table/column eq ‘value’&ctid=xxxxxx

 

 

I believe you can get more hints from these blogs:

Another option is to use a turn-key/ plug'n'play white label solution like the Reporting Hub:  https://thereportinghub.com.  Deploys in minutes and no code required.   It allows you to take advantage of Power BI Embedded without the development complexity.
