Windows authentication instead of ADD Forms authentication?
Hi,
is there a way to use a windows authentication instead of the forms based authentication for PowerBI?
I want to give access to my employees to their reports, but through iframes in our internal portal.
but this prompts the user to login in powerbi
I want to use a windows authentication method to not prompt the users and have a better user experience.
is it something possible to do?
thanks
You need to setup federation between your Windows AD and Azure AD. Power BI, generally, for organizations uses Azure AD authentication just like other Office 365 services. Therefore, you can use something like ADFS to configure federation between your on-premises Active Directory and Azure AD/Office 365 and this will provide single sign-on for your users.
