Critical: Cannot load embedded report (403) GET [...]us-east2-redirect.analysis.windows.net/[...]

[amikell]

No other errors. Project related, can open up embedded reports in other applications.

What might cause this particular disruption?

solution: bad access token, generate new token through reliable methods

[amikell]

Bump. Urgent.

[Seth_C_Bauer]

@amikell Could you describe further in detail what you are trying to do here? 

[amikell]

Load an embedded report into a web application

This particular method only relies on the Powerbi Javascript library and no MVC

@Seth_C_Bauer

[Seth_C_Bauer]

@amikell Just a note, for future questions for Power BI Embedded might get better traction in the Developer sub as the Service is specific to the Power BI Service and not Power BI Embedded.

I haven't tested/used the embedded story, but I might be able to help out.

1) What data source are you using for your reports? Currenlty only cloud datasources are supported in the preview.

2) Is your site for external customer use?

3) Are you trying to load a Power BI Desktop file when you get this error, or is it when you are trying to embed link?

I'm assuming you've set this all up as described here, and after doing this you're hitting this roadblock in the embed to application?

[amikell]

Using an Azure hosted SQL database

Site can be accessed by external customer users, but not this particular page. This data must be private and unavailable to clients. Goal is to use PowerBI for troubleshooting analytics, etc.

Embedding a link. Works fine with MVC and Web API 2, but the web application I need to work in is on 1 and that won't be changing anytime soon. Using the Javascript library I get a response from the PowerBI service but it fails to load the report. Console details refer to one specific file where access was forbidden with an HTTP status of 403.

https://wabi-us-east2-redirect.analysis.windows.net/metadata/cluster is the file I was unable to access. This problem does not occur in my other project with MVC.

In the future I'll be sure to post in the developer section, thanks.

@amikell yeah, sorry - this is out of my realm. pinging @jocaplan-MSFT - he will most likely be able to help you out here as I believe this is one of his PM areas.

@Seth_C_Bauer

Don't blame you at all, I've spoken to a lot of senior devs and basically on here as a last ditch effort.

[jocaplan-MSFT · Accepted solution]

How are you authenticating your call. The 403 error means that you don't have valid access. What does your access token look like?

[amikell]

@jocaplan-MSFT

public ActionResult ---(string crmId)
        {
            Client client = Client.GetByCRMId(crmId);
            ViewData["ClientId"] = client != null ? client.Id.ToString() : "NONE";

            //AccessToken = embedToken.Generate("---")

            var devToken = PowerBIToken.CreateDevToken("---", "---");

            var jwt = devToken.Generate("---");
            var credentials = new TokenCredentials(jwt, "AppToken");
            var BIclient = new PowerBIClient(credentials)
            {
                BaseUri = new Uri("https://api.powerbi.com")
            };
                
            using (var powerBIClient = BIclient)
            {
                var embedToken = PowerBIToken.CreateReportEmbedToken("---", "---", "---");

                var AccessToken = embedToken.Generate("---");

                ViewData["EmbedToken"]=AccessToken;
                return View();
            }
        }

Hi

I am getting the same error on https://wabi-north-europe-redirect.analysis.windows.net/powerbi/metadata/refreshusermetadata

Have you found any solution ? 

Please share. Thank you

I get a similar error when trying to open a report using the Microsoft Power BI Embedded Playground, despite having access to the report when using the EmbedURL.

Has anyone been able to identify what is causing this error.

[jocaplan-MSFT]

Can you please double check that the Workspace collection name and workspace ID are correct for the report that you are trying to embed? Also, please grab the request ID off of the response header from the failed message.

only 1 workspace collection, tried all workspace IDs in addition to the first (3 total)

[jocaplan-MSFT]

Looks like you are using "Bearer" in your authorization header. You should be passing this as "AppToken".

[amikell]

@jocaplan-MSFT

I could not figure out how to generate the proper access token from the PowerBI libraries... I pass (jwt, "AppToken") but still get the "Bearer" header.

I went back to the C#-based example solution and generated another access token, hard coded it into the Javascript solution. Working for now unless token expires (?). Will work on ways to incorporate that logic into my application.

"Bearer" actually remained in the authorization header. It seems there is a bit of ambiguity when it comes to retrieving an access token with a PowerBI Javascript embed report solution.
