Register PowerBI Application and Define Permissions

Signing in to Power BI

Clicking "Next" to register your application

Visit https://dev.powerbi.com/Apps, sign in using your organization’s Active Directory account and select Next.

Screenshot displaying where the required information should be inputted

Set the Application Name to a meaningful name, set the Application Type to Server-side web application (for web apps or web APIs), and set the Home Page URL & Redirect URL to your organization’s root domain URL.

Screenshot showing which options under API Access need to be selected

Under API access, select Read all datasets, Read all reports, Read all workspaces, Read and write all datasets, Read and write all reports and Create APIs followed by selecting Register. You can safely ignore the invalid message that states Note: An application registered here can’t be used as a service principal. Learn how to register a service principal.

Success screen, showing locations of information that will be required as the tutorial continues

Store the Application ID and Application secret in a secure location as these are sensitive values and will be required to configure Power BI Embedded as we’ll see later.
