Authenticating Power BI tile as part of API call to call in web app.

[cynosure_aks]

Hi,

We are working on integrating Power BI tile into our web app using Azure Active Direcy, followed the steps in below url and succesfully integrated the tile into web app.

https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-developer-integrate-a-power-bi-tile-or-rep...

Issue Is : When we run the app in the vistual studio its redirecting to Power BI login page before displaying the Power BI tile in the web page. Is there a way to provide the auntication information as part of API call to avoid user seeing the login page

or

bypass the login page and display tile in the web app without authentication.

Hi

If you have user credentials then you can bypass the login paage, when sending request for access token send grant_type="password" and username="PowerBI USerName" and password="PowerBI Passowrd"

If I understand well, then you are looking for a kind of anonymous access to the report, right? Or deal with the authentication on your web application side. You may want to take a look at Power BI Embedded, which was released two weeks ago. In a nutshell it does the same as the regular app, but takes away the user authentication against Power BI web service. It authenticates only the app, and not the user. This way your end user will never face the Azure authentication pages at all.

I hope that helps.

If you are trying to embed a tile from a users dashboard, you will need to get that user to log in at least once. You can cache their credentials if you don't want them to log in again.

Thanks for the resoponse, reports are going to be deployed in a public site and needs no autentication, we are looking for a way to bypass auntication or pass auntication information as part of API call.

Using Azure Active Directory  to make sure we can integrate a tile in webpage without Pagetabs and PowerBI logo.
