Impact Analysis : Allow Service Principles to Use Power BI APIs settings at Tenent level

[Anonymous]

Hi Team, 

We have requirment to implement the Power BI embedded solution for our application. For implrmenting this , we would require "Allow Service Principles to Use Power BI APIs" settings to be enabled at tenent level. 

for entire organisation Single tenent is allocated in which some of the workspaces still want to continue with power BI authentication methods with Pro and premium licence subscription. 

Is it possible if we enable this settings at tenent level then it will impact the authentication process for existing workspaces also which are fine with current implementation (without power BI embedded solution ) 

I belive This configuration should be flexible enough to add on This settings without impacting existing authentication solution for workspaces. 

Need your thoughts. 

Thanks

Hi, 

As far as I’m concerned, you only need to enable the “Allow Service Principles to Use Power BI APIs” option when you're using the service principal authentication method in the Embed for customer scenario, and if you enable this option, it will not make any influence on your existing authentication solution for workspaces.

For more info about the Embed for customer scenario in the Power BI embed, please refer to this link:

Thank you very much!
