    Hi koffieli,

     

    Nope, power bi embedded not support to add password.

     

    For your scenario, I'd like to suggest you use power bi embedded with dynamic RLS based on username to achieve these requirement.

     

    Power BI Embedded:

    Official Documentation – Power BI Embedded

    GitHub Sample Repo

     

    Row level security:

    RLS with UserName()

     

    Notice: After you setting dynamic RLS based on username, if you not assign role to one user, even if he open the embed url, he alse can't view detail visual data.(it show visual data can't load)

     

    Regards,

Thank you very much. Does this mean that they need first to login in my app then I use the username to control activities in the access to the content?

HI Anonymous,

 

Yes, if you use embed url to embed your contents, these users need to login in to power bi. then 'username' function will get sing-in user name.

 

BTW, RLS effect only works for read-permission users, it not works on dataset owner and edit-permission users.
