Hi,
Following this tutorial and Embedding with non-Power BI users, I already successfully embeded dashboard for non-Power BI users.
I've used the approach of retrieving access token for master account (pro) with username and password.
Then generating embed token with access token.
I have to say that there is lack of API documentation for non C# developers.
Also when there is error - no error code given or explanation. Not developer friendly at all.
Below is simple examle of embeding Dashboard with PHP:
<?php
$ch_access_token = curl_init();
$oauth_data = [
'grant_type' => 'password',
'username' => 'master-usern@domain.onmicrosoft.com',
'password' => '123456',
'client_id' => 'x7957710-04xc-1a345-1234-097d273f4az2',
'resource' => 'https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api',
];
curl_setopt($ch_access_token, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/token');
curl_setopt($ch_access_token, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch_access_token, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($oauth_data));
// receive server response ...
curl_setopt($ch_access_token, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$server_output_access_token = curl_exec($ch_access_token);
curl_close($ch_access_token);
$token_data = json_decode($server_output_access_token, true);
$access_token = $token_data['access_token'] ?? '';
if (!$access_token) {
die('NA');
}
$ch_entity_token = curl_init();
$json_body = [
'accessLevel' => 'View'
];
$group_id = 'ad567a8z-088x-1234-3456-112255a2a5a2';
$entity_id = 'zb567a8z-088x-1234-448-33775a2a5a2b';
curl_setopt($ch_entity_token, CURLOPT_URL,
"https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{$group_id}/dashboards/{$entity_id}/GenerateToken"
);
curl_setopt($ch_entity_token, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch_entity_token, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, [
'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8',
"Authorization: Bearer {$access_token}"
]);
curl_setopt($ch_entity_token, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($json_body));
// receive server response ...
curl_setopt($ch_entity_token, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$server_output_dashboard_token = curl_exec($ch_entity_token);
curl_close($ch_entity_token);
$entity_token_data = json_decode($server_output_dashboard_token, true);
if (!isset($entity_token_data['token'])) {
die('NA');
}

So far so good. Dashboard embeded. True fullstack I am.
Lets copy-paste above code, replace dashboard with report and we will have report embeded you would say.
Well, maybe with another API's but not with microsoft lol.
Below is implementation of report embed:
<?php
$ch_access_token = curl_init();
$oauth_data = [
'grant_type' => 'password',
'username' => 'master-usern@domain.onmicrosoft.com',
'password' => '123456',
'client_id' => 'x7957710-04xc-1a345-1234-097d273f4az2',
'resource' => 'https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api',
];
curl_setopt($ch_access_token, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/token');
curl_setopt($ch_access_token, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch_access_token, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($oauth_data));
// receive server response ...
curl_setopt($ch_access_token, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$server_output_access_token = curl_exec($ch_access_token);
curl_close($ch_access_token);
$token_data = json_decode($server_output_access_token, true);
$access_token = $token_data['access_token'] ?? '';
if (!$access_token) {
die('NA');
}
$ch_entity_token = curl_init();
$json_body = [
'accessLevel' => 'View'
];
$group_id = 'ad567a8z-088x-1234-3456-112255a2a5a2';
$entity_id = 'zb567a8z-088x-1234-448-33775a2a5a2b';
curl_setopt($ch_entity_token, CURLOPT_URL,
"https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{$group_id}/reports/{$entity_id}/GenerateToken"
);
curl_setopt($ch_entity_token, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch_entity_token, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, [
'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8',
"Authorization: Bearer {$access_token}"
]);
curl_setopt($ch_entity_token, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($json_body));
// receive server response ...
curl_setopt($ch_entity_token, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$server_output_report_token = curl_exec($ch_entity_token);
curl_close($ch_entity_token);
$entity_token_data = json_decode($server_output_report_token, true);
if (!isset($entity_token_data['token'])) {
die('NA');
}

Generate embed token for report return 401 Unauthorized
Howewer the response from access token has all necessary scopes:
Access token request's response:
{
"token_type": "Bearer",

}Embed token request (return 401):
