Power BI Groups/Roles
Hey, I am looking to set up groups within my power bi reports. I am wondering what is the easiest way to manage and maintain this access as well. In addition to the user groups for admins and vie...
Hi ROCKYDO12
The best way to manage this is to create Azure Active Directory (AAD) Security Groups, and then add in the required users to each group.
In terms of then using reports I would create App Workspaces, then create an App and assign the AAD Security Group to the app.
When embedding in SharePoint I would suggest then embedding the Power BI report in the SharePoint page into a site which relates once again to the AAD Group you created. For example if there are reports for HR, I would embed the Power BI reports into the HR SharePoint site?
Thanks for your reply.
Essentially you could do the same thing with Azure Active Directory by leveraging Office 365 portal instead?
What would be the benfit of creating an app vs. using sharepoint?
