    Hi there

    I would suggest you install ALL the Power BI Modules. And can you confirm the version you have installed is 1.0.830?

    They are:
    MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Admin
    MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Capacities
    MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Data
    MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Profile
    MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Reports
    MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Workspaces

That seemed to work! I was able to retrieve the embed token.

I did run into a snag when then trying that embed token in the Microsoft Power BI Embedded Playground for whatever the reason when trying to run using one of my own reports it wouldn't render at all in the embed view in the lower part of the page.

The steps being:

-Switch to AAD token
-Paste embed token from PowerShell
-Paste Embed URL (from report)
-Past Report ID
-Hit Run

From there no results, not even anything showing up on the log on the right of that screen.

Does the report need to be registered in Azure as an app first? Which I also tried and didn't have anymore luck.

    Hi there

    Yes you would have to create an App with the permissions to Power BI in Azure Active Directory.
