Power BI Popup message blocking someone who has direct access.

Hi there,

 

I have a report where someone can access directly but when this report is added in a powerpoint presentation it throws an error message saying authentication needed but couldn't because popups are blocked. The powerpoint is being opened when the user is clicking a link to the presentation in a message in a Teams site.

 

Teams Desktop --> Opening PowerPoint Online embbedded in Teams with the PowerBI report embedded in the presentation.

Clicking the OK button doesn't do anything.

 

This is all domain level logins where local and online 365 applications are logged in as the user.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

 

David

Hi @Mullz 

 

I have not seen that before.


What happens if they open the Power Point from the file location and not from within Teams, does that then work?

Hi,

 

Yes, direct access in local powerpoint or web app both show the embedded report fine, it's only when accessing through teams. I have even tried adding the team m365group access to the powerbi report but it still throws the error.

 

Thanks
