Power bi embedded for organization: new users cannot see the dashboard: 401 GroupNoRecord

Hi folks, 

I have a strange behaviour of my emedded in our cutom app report (We used client APIs for embedding and AAD Auth). 

New AAD users who added to workspace security group cannot see the dasboard(even after 24 hours after creation). API repsonse is 401: GroupNoAccess
But if user goes to Power BI.com they can access the report.  After that they can see the reprot in custom app as well!

Any ideas what is wrong?

Hi @EduardD ,

Based on the description, try to verify that the users are added to security group has the permissions.

Then, embed tokens with Pro or Premium per user license are intended for development testing, so a Power bi master or service principal only generate a limited number of tokens. Try to review the tokens for authentication.

thank you. The problem was is that Power BI service could not see user group membership even after 24+ hours after the user was created and added to the AAD Security group. @Anonymous What could be the reason of that behaviour? 
Workaround we currenlty use is running this API right after the user added to security groups:  Users - Refresh User Permissions - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn

Hi @EduardD ,

 

Please check with users once whether they are using the right url or not.

 

Thanks,
