Personal Bookmarks with App Service

I embed different reports via an Azure App Service and code based on this template microsoft/PowerBI-Developer-Samples: A collection of Power BI samples for developer use. (github.com). 

The customer can access the App Service via url without any issues.

When it comes to setting personal bookmarks, I'm a bit lost.

In the EmbedReport.cshtml I enabled personal Bookmarks and I also set the UserState.ReadWrite.All.

 

var config = {
  type: 'report',
  tokenType: models.TokenType.Embed,
  accessToken: accessToken,
  embedUrl: embedUrl,
  id: embedReportId,
  permissions: models.Permissions.All,
  settings: {
   filterPaneEnabled: false,
         navContentPaneEnabled:  true,
         //navContentPaneEnabled: true,
         personalBookmarksEnabled: true,
         persistentFiltersEnabled: true,
         panes: {
             bookmarks: {
                 visible: true,
             }
         }
     }
};

 

 

Still the customer just sees the sidebar with the bookmark icon, but can't use it.

 

 

Are there any further prequisites I must fulfill before it will work?

    Hi FilipK ,

    Which solution are you using?

    According to the Microsoft documentation.
    Enable personal bookmarks in Power BI embedded analytics | Microsoft Learn

    Personal bookmarks feature is disabled by default and is supported only for the embed for your organization (user owns data) solution.

      Anonymous , thank you for your response. It's power bi embedded service connected with Azure app service.

      The users are guests in our Entra ID (guests are from 2nd company also using Entra ID for User Management)

       

      I thought that guests are treated as standard company users so it would be possible to enable personal bookmarking. And even I cannot set bookmarks.

        Hi FilipK ,

        Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear.

        I would like to inquire which template you are using to develop the embedded app.


        If you develop using the template Embed for your customers, the Personal Bookmarks feature is not supported.
