Power BI Dataset Private Storage
Hi,
We are looking to use PowerBI for a project that requires the storage of private data. This means that having the dataset residing in the PowerBI service will not work as we have no control over where the data is stored (other than geo location).
Initially, we went down the route of PowerBI Reporting Service but this doesn't support PowerBI embedded.
Is there a way we can self host the PowerBI dataset on-premise so we have full control of where the sensitive data is stored?

Hi. I can't think of a reason for not trusting PowerBi Service with the appropiate security settings but let's talk about on premise. The only way to implemente PowerBi on premise would be using SQL Server Report Server. The extention that works like the old Reporting Services. You can embed those reports on a custom web app. You may not have all the flexibility of PowerBi Embedded licence coding many details with javascript, but you can just paste a secure link on an iframe.

I hope that helps,
Thanks for your message.
The data is personal data and it cannot leave the organisation's on-premise infrastructure. It's not that it won't be secure, it's that it's not allowed to leave.
As explained before, we went down that route but it doesn't support powerbi embedded. We need access to the javascript functions.
Then there is no much to do. You can't do you what you are asking 😞
Remember you can write your idea of a feature (like using javascript embedding features for Report Server) and suggest it at https://ideas.powerbi.com
