Power BI Report web part for SharePoint Online Discussion
Advocate IIIMicrosoft is telling us EVERY USER on the tenant (not just those that need acces to the webpart ) must be on First Release because some new SSO feature has changed. Is this true? Please explain why? This is our production tenant and we have over 20,000 users, so that's not an option.
When can we expect general release or for that requirement to change?
Adding to the conversation, the webparts needs an option for filters and parameters. We would really like to see a URL query string parameter option.
Also, now that we are talking about SharePoint, I understand Azure SQL databases can have a live PBI connection, Why no live connection to SPO Lists?
o365spo The web part is in preview and relies on APIs that are in First Release for the tenant. So we're just saying that if you'd like to start using the web part, you can. I don't have any GA date guidance to share with you right now. The preview has recently started and we want to ensure a great experience before we declare a GA. We also need all of our dependencies to exit First Release.
Your ideas about parameters/filter input and direct query for SharePoint Lists are good ones - could you ensure you share that on https://ideas.powerbi.com.
clechner77 If you have E5, then your users have Power BI Pro licenses, no need to get anything else.
Anonymous -- right, we're set as far as licensing. I was just passing along that we are an E5 tenant so you knew that our users not seeing anything in the web part unless they log in once to powerbi.com wasn't a licensing issue.
clechner77 thanks for reporting this. We'll look into it.

I should have clarrified that we are not using sharepoint.com cloud accounts, but rather enterprise logins with a shib based single sign on. So the only way to activiate that tenant level APIs in First release is by having all users on the tenant (even those that don't need the new web part) on First Release? Please explain how that works.. is it automatic?
o365spo your Office 365 First Release setting needs to be in "First release for everyone". Per user first release is not sufficient.
