Roles and Permission needed on Azure for enabling Embedded Power BI

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 27

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone tell me the kind of permission needed in Azure for Embedded Power BI and Environment creation. We want to restrict permission in a project to the Active directory user whereas we are planning to have these two kind of roles for creating Embedded Power BI and Environment. What kind of permission or Access control can be setup for the user in AD to have only the above two permissions. Any help would help

Regards,

Sourav

    Hi

    To give more clarity to my question, i am looking at the following information from you experts. We have a lot more functionality in Azure functions like Management reporter, OData , Embedded power BI, Environment deployment and creation and usually a Global administrator permission is given or has rights to do so. But Global Admin also gives us too much of a permission to have access on everything. Is there something which exclusively permits us to Manage environments or Deploy Power BI reports or manage embedded power BI or just manage Odata Functions. So an access control which is less than Global Admin but also gives us the permission for the above functions

    Hi Sourav,

    I'm not able to understand if you are searching for securing parts of Azure AD or create specific roles in Dynamics 365 Finance.

    Hi Andre

    I am looking on the Azure Ad side. Is there an access control or permission apart from Global Admin for roles which permits us to Manage environments or for  embedded power BI . We want to restrict the Global Admin role to something more specific as above as Global Admin gives un-restricted permission to be able to perform everything. We want to control that

    Hi Sourav,

    You posted your question on the Dynamics 365 forum. I do think, you can better ask this particular question on an Azure or Power BI forum as it is in fact not related to Dynamics 365.

    Thanks Andre. I will do that. However, can you guide me to the link for Power BI and Azure forum as this is Dynamics community, do we have a separate community for this
