Connecting to Azure Analysis Services with same user

[clayduvall]

I have an Azure Analysis Services tabular model.   I'm able to connect to it from PowerBI.com.  And I know how to give others access to it by creating an AD user for them and adding them to a Analysis Services role.  However, I was wondering if there is a way to allow users to access PowerBI reports that use the Analysis Services model without having to giving them direct access to the DB.   Would there be a way to set the credentials up so that they always use the same AD account to authenticate with Analysis Services?

Thanks!

Hi @clayduvall 

Currently each user needs to be granted access to the AAS cube.

One workaround is to create an Azure Active Directory Security Group, and all all the required users to the Azure Active Directory group.

Got it.  Thanks!
