Relation between azure and Power BI

Lvmoraes · ‎11-02-2017

Hi,

I'm just looking for an explanation about PowerBI/Azure relationship.

When I create a power BI pro online portal, I know it is managed by azure in the Backend.

But do I get a subscription? How does it works?

The reason I am asking is because I have to grant access to an application to access PowerBI, but when I try to do that from azure, i get a message saying I don't have the privileges. I don't know how is that possible, since I created the Power BI account and we don't have any other Microsoft Product on the cloud.

Thanks

Lucas

Hi Eric, I've opened a case to zure..

It is still not clear to me if I have to buy a whole subscription just to manage my power bi capabilities from Azure. I don't need Azure services, I just need to authorize an external application to access power bi, and the Power Bi tutorials tell me to do it from the azure portal ( which I believe power Bi automatically created for me ).

Do I need to buy an azure subscription to administrate my power BI account? ( just grant access to an application, I don't want to manage any Azure AD for instance )

This is what they replied:

Hello Lucas,

Thank you for replying back with the screenshot.

In order to be able to deploy a marketplace service, you may have to sign up for an Azure Subscription under your Account.

Kindly add a Free Trial or a Pay as you go offer type using this link https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/offer-details/

Then use this Subscription to deploy a marketplace service.

I hope the information shared was helpful.

I will be looking forward for your kind response.

Best Regards,
