Service Principal

Hi!

I’ve created a Power BI Embedded APP via the Onboarding Tool (https://app.powerbi.com/embedsetup(. The App works good with the Master User Configuration. Now I want to switch to a Service Principal.

I think I have done everything according to this page – I’ve also double checked this …

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/embed-service-principal

 

But I receive this error message when I run the App – any ideas?

 

Serverfehler in der Anwendung /.

How did you resolve this problem ?

I am having the same problem while moving my App from MasterUser to ServicePrincipal.
