Session timeout in Power BI Embedded

We are an ISV using Power BI Embedded for an application. There is an automatic one hour session limit that is imposed and I can't find anywhere to adjust it. I see where you can adjust it in Premium but not embedded. This is causing all sorts of havoc on the application. Supposedly it is in the Azure portal but I can't find it anywhere there. The article below was not helpful as it only seems to deal with Premium.

Thank you for the response. We will be trying to work the possible options.  Appreciate it.

Hi @DQuigg ,

 

Are you able to sort this session timeout issue in app with Power BI Embedded reports? We are facing similiar kind of issue, please share your experience that will be very helpful.

 

Thanks,

Karthik

Hi @karthik_krish,

 

We haven't had this issue in a while - I am not sure what our developers did, but they were able to find a setting to increase the timeout. It was one of these options. 

 

 

Hi @DQuigg ,

Thanks for your response. Yes, even we were able to increase the timeout of access token through Azure AD (thru link shared below) and now we can set such a way that it wont automatically logout within 24hrs at max. After 24 hrs we have to sign in again to run Power BI reports.

Hope that's the only possible workaround for this case.
