Retrieving an IdentityBlob token for a specific user

We are embedding a Power BI report using the embed for your customers application process

 

The RLS has been set up on the Azure side but we are struggling to generate an IdentityBlob token for a user in the python code.

 

IdentityBlob: a blob for specifying the identity. Only supported for datasets with Direct Query connection to SQL Azure

 

So,

To use token-based identity, you first need to get an AAD access token, and then add it into the ‘identitiyBlob’ property when generating the embed token:

{
"accessLevel": "View",
"identities": [
{
"datasets": [ "fe0a1aeb-f6a4-4b27-a2d3-b5df3bb28bdc"],
         “identityBlob”: {
“value”: “eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJh….”
}
}
]
}

 

How does one programmatically "get" the AAD access token to place in the value placeholder for "identityBlob"?

 

Can anyone recommend a way of retrieveing the IdentityBlob using JSON / Python? Or direct to a website with this information?

 

Many thanks.
