New Youtube Video on App-only Auth with Power BI embedding

[TedPattison]

Hi all,

After working with the new Power BI embedding app-only auth support for the last 2 weeks, I put together a 30-minute youtube video to educate developers others how to use it. Here are the key concepts covered in the video.

• App-only auth support now in preview for Power BI APIs
• Application acquires app-only access token using client credentials
• Application takes on the identity of service principal
• Access to Power BI resources based on workspace membership
• Access to Power BI resources not based on AAD permissions
• App-only token provides access to User APIs but not Admin APIs
• App-only authentication now considered best practice when using App-Owns-Data
