Power BI Report Server Embed API Alternative

Hi,


I’m looking for method to enable users of our application to be able to view an embedded Power BI report without being prompted for a login. The report has sensitive data so I can not simply make the report publicly available. As users are authenticated via the application there is no need for a second Power BI authentication.

If I use the Power BI cloud service (i.e. https://app.powerbi.com/home) I am able to harness the power of the Power BI Embed API and with a generated accessToken I can display the report without the user having to login again. However, our client would like to use Power BI Report Server in order to host all the data on their own servers. As I understand the Power BI Embed API feature is not available on Power BI Report Server.

Is there any alternate method I can use to give the user a seamless user experience and avoid the double login? i.e. Log the user into Power BI in the background as they log into the application (assuming I have their Power BI credentials), then log them back out as they logout the application.

Any help would be appreciated,

Lucas

@LucasGA - I do not believe that option exists for PBIRS. Sorry. 😞
