Hello all,

I want to ask : What permission should i have to create a sales report in PBI where i can pull data directly from Business Central?ù

How do we display these built PBI dashboards in BC ?

Thank you in advance.

    It depends on the user/account you use to refresh the data. Power BI uses web services, via the API, so the same BC permissions apply.

    Once you create the PBI report, you can publish it to your PBI service. Then you can simply embedd the report in BC.

    Here's a good overview:

    Please check these links

    docs.microsoft.com/.../admin-powerbi

    Regarding Permission, it depends a lot based on the type of data you are displaying,  if it is open sales you need access to the sales header, sales line table but you are looking for statistics you need to have access to Item Ledger Entries....
