Passing credentials from custom application

We want to allow external users to view content hosted on Power BI Premium.  We do not want to make the content publicly available, but with thousands of users and the amount of turnover it's not feasible to manage individual accounts.  We also have too much content being created and updated every day to make it feasible to manage separate embed tokens for every report.  The users are required to log in to our custom application before reaching the Power BI content, so is it possible to pass in authentication credentials so that the users can access the Power BI content without needing to log in separately?

You cannot do that with Power BI Premium. You need Power BI Embedded (app owns data) for that.
