Solved: Secure Embed - Request Access

sheatsej · ‎02-20-2019

We have been testing out the new 'secure embed' feature (see screenshot below), but seem to be having a security issue as follows:

1. We have a private app workspace with a limited number of members. This workspace is published to an App. Inside app.powerbi.com, non-members cannot search for or see the App.

2. When we used 'secure embed' to post a report from the App to our company intranet, non-members can try to request access (see screenshot below). Power BI walks them through submitting a request, but the requests are never actually emailed to the report owner. Is it possible to turn off the "request access" button?

Over the last few days, it appears that Microsoft has changed the URL line for the secure embed. Once we updated to the new URLs, non-members are no longer given the option to request access.

One item worth mentioning that we learned in our testing: you can generate the secure embed code from both the workspace or the app --and the list of members changes accordingly.
