Power BI Kiosk mode

Hello Team,

 

We have an account that is assigned as a Kiosk to display a power BI Dashboard.  It is working great except every time it askes for a user name and password when it refreshes the web page or loads for the first time.  Is there any way to get it so it does  not ask for a password ever time the Power BI Dashboard loads?

 

Thanks in advance!

    As far as I know that would only be possible if you had published to Web.  Which you probably don't want to do.

    I'm not too sure that you can accomplish this in the native Power BI Service.

     

    As already stated, you can do Publish to Web, but I don't recommend it. Even if the URLs are cryptographically generated, I don't like having my private Power BI data open on the web somewhere. You never know who might find the URL.

     

    There is the Power BI kiosk app from the Windows Store, but it is being deprecated December 2023 - so that's really not a realistic option anymore either.

     

    Your best bet is to either code something yourself or use a 3rd party tool. I've built a tool of my own called Displagent that handles this well, happy to answer any questions. I've got a docsite for features if you're curious to read up on it more.
