Dears,

I have a colleague is testing Power BI services who has shared me the created dashboard and grant me the access, 

data behind the dashbarod come from company on-premises data.

https://app.powerbi.com/groups/me/dashboards/92734292-66bd-4813-9965-f2469cd5f679

A few questions :

1. Why Power BI could be sign on automatically with company AD (my colleague) without need to manual logon (me). I am located in Hong Kong and my colleague is located in Shanghai China.

2. How to control the logon of Power BI services through company AD or manual logon ?

3. With url inital "https://app.powerbi.com", does the dashboardd is already hosted in cloud managed by Microsoft already ? 

Thanks 

Andy Wong

Hi @andykmwong,

In addition, for more details about User Authentication and Data and Service Security in Power BI, you can refer to this article.

Power BI is tied to Office 365 credentials (Azure AD) not on-premises AD. Couple different ways to achieve Single Sign-On (SSO) with AD. You can use ADFS for example. Alternatively, your colleague may already have authenticated to Office 365 in the same browser session, for example accessing a SharePoint Online site. Yes, the dashboard and report are hosted by Microsoft in the Power BI Service.
