My goal is to periodically push data to a Power BI dataset using their REST API without user intervention.
It seems like the only way that's currently possible is to configure user credentials into the application and authenticate that way. All examples of the 'App Owns Data' strategy require a user to log in, and then the Power BI APIs push data on the logged-in user's behalf.
I wrote an Azure WebJob that uses the credentials of a service account we created to authenticate with Azure AD and it's successfully pushing data to Power BI, but I'd like to do avoid having a service account just for this as it has cost and security implications.
Is there a way to use the Power BI REST API without user intervention and without logging in using Azure AD credentials?

How to solve rendering problem when data points are very large?
I am trying to build a custom visual which contains nearly 20,000 data points in it. So my problem is when I resize or drag the report, all the points get distorted while displaying.
So, I want to capture the resizing event of a report and, it should stop rendering when I am resizing the report and once done resizing or dragging then display the chart again.
Current Problem:
Is there any way I can reduce the lag or drag it smoothly. I can also stop rendering during resizing which is done in the second video.
Problem :

Desired Output:
The similar output which is in the video below is expected. Is it possible to capture the resizing so that I can stop rendering during that time? I am new to custom visual so if possible help me with the code.

Embedded Dashboard tiles not loading if they are mostly offscreen
If on initial load the majority of a tile extends past the height of the container the dashboard is embedded in it will not load. Visually this leaves a blank space in the dashboard until the user scrolls down the dashboard or the container is resized. It may be worth noting that we are using the fit-to-width page format for the embedded dashboards. Below is an example of the issue:

Custom Visual at Org level in Power BI
Hi All,
Recently MS introduced Custom visual to be published at Org level. I have created a custom R Visual and want to make it generic so that people in my Org can reuse the same code.
Is there any way to do it ?
I don't want end user to edit the R code.
Also I would need steps to publish this at Org level so that the visual gets displayed in the My Org Visual list.

Row level security python
Hello,
I have this python code to generate access token with power bi embedded, it is working fine, but I want to add the identities parameter to take into account rls functionality
Here is the python code:
def __init__(self, report_id, group_id, settings=None):
self.username = 'MyUserName'
self.password = 'MyPassword'
self.client_id = '28c7e68d-6eb1-4be3-8b97-4c0fa9cd83d7'
self.report_id = report_id
self.group_id = group_id
if settings is None:
self.settings = {'accessLevel': 'View', 'allowSaveAs': 'false'}
else:
self.settings = settings
self.access_token = self.get_access_token()
self.config = self.get_embed_token()
I think that identities should be added at this line :
self.settings = {'accessLevel': 'View', 'allowSaveAs': 'false'}
For more clarification I have a C# code that is working fine :
generateTokenRequestParameters = new GenerateTokenRequest("View", null, identities: new List<EffectiveIdentity> { new EffectiveIdentity(username: "EffectiveUserName", roles: new List<string> { "FranceSales" }, datasets: new List<string> { "382ea16c-fbcc-4cec-bb60-470aff4aebaa" }) });

The number of products stored in the database changes daily, therefore i need the program to automatically check the number of products and generate a set of visuals for each product.
Is this doable? Any idea how to implent it?

Embedded report interaction outside Iframe
Hi there,
Forgive me if this is a silly question or my terminology is not correct (embedding is not a strong point for me). I am looking to have a report embedded into an app, easy enough, I know how this can be done.
What ideally I would like is for example, click on a customer in the embedded PBI report and that will then populate that customer into a "Price Calculator Tool" which will be developed seperately. The idea is that with this "Price Calculator Tool" it will give the user the option whether to update a customers price, by writing back into the database.
The PBI is used to calculate the new price and the "Price Calculator Tool" is used to update the price or not.
Can anyone tell me if this is in theory possible, and if so point me in the direction of some online resources?
Thanks,
Jake

Is it possible to embed report/dashboard with scroll?
What is the best way to embed a Power-BI-based "filter panel" into multiple webpages? The filter panel will be taller than the webpage, so needs to be scrollable. Should I embed each "filter visual" separately, or can I embed a whole dashboard (or report) full of filter visuals, into a scrollable div?
Background: I'm creating a little app with five webpages. Each page has the same filter panel but a different main visual. These main visuals will ultimately be custom visuals. The filter panel should work globally. Users of the app need not be very technical and will not know Power BI is behind the scenes, so we don't want them using drag and drop Power BI filters. Users need to be able to apply multiple filters at the same time.
I've embedded a tall thin report (custom page size) full of filter visuals, but it still scales to fit in the Power BI worksheet/filter bar wrapper.
Do I have to embed each visual separately?
Thanks

Getting Access token failing because of organization login
Hi I am trying to get the "App Owns Data" example to work. https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-Developer-Samples/tree/master/App%20Owns%20Data to see how to intergrate powerBI reports on a web application. After putting in my pBIusername, password clientId and groupId into the Web.config example and running it I get this error message
Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.AdalServiceException: AADSTS75005: The request is not a valid SAML 2.0 protocol message.
I believe this is happening because I am using my organizaiton's login as it is the same credentials for my powerBI account. When I get authenticated with my organization's authentication server, it sends back a SAML 1.0 Message back to the Microsoft authentication server and gets denied because it is not SAML 2.0. Since this is in-flight data I have no way to edit this message before it gets kicked back to Microsofts auth. I was wondering if there is any work around to this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
