Hi @Armen,

For Paginated Report within Power BI Report Server, there are multiple ways to integrate or embed it in an application. This can be achieved via:

URL access

API

Report Viewer Control

For more details about how to embed report into application with prompt credential, please see: SQL Server Reporting Services 2016 Integration with an Application

For Power BI report within Power BI Report Server, you can embed within an iFrame by adding the querystring parameter ?rs:Embed=true to the URL. As the user who is connecting to your custom app also needs to have access to the Power BI report on the report server, so, calling your custom app throws a dialog box asking users to log in with credentials for the Report Server.

Hi thank you for replying, maybe I have described not clearly my problem, let me clarify it, I have php application which have reporting system,  and  my php outputs json data, now my client wants to create power bi add-in like zenddesk 

That the user click on it  and opens  this popup 

when user clicks on it "Sign in" opens popup with some webview
and user can login in to this server after which reporting data must loads to the power bi

I want  to create such a thing , I want  to publish a data type like zendesk with our company logo and name, that the users click on login in to our php app and load his reporting data 

but so many informations and I can't find how to do that, please if you have any experience share a documentation where described which I need

Hi @Armen,

If I understand correctly, you want to add your own data connector into the "Get Date" list so that users can link to your created app via credential, right? You could develop a custom data connector which is supported by Power BI desktop, for more details about how to achieve, please see:

Power BI Custom Connector: Connect to Any Data Sources. Hello World!

Hi @v-yulgu-msft,
Thank you so much for your answer, it helped me build custom data connector, and now everything work right, but I would like to have same logic on online Power bi, is it possible create some app and upload this data-connector, that the user will not have to download "custom data connector" put in folder "C:\Users\username\Documents\Microsoft Power BI Desktop\Custom Connectors", I would like to add this data connector in online app, that the user can connect to my server, from online power bi and from desktop power bi and don't having in his coputer my data connector
