Hello everyone,
I have a question about connecting BC (online) with Power BI oData.
1) Is it possible to connect to Power BI with an assigned Team member license in BC?
2) Is it necessary to have a license and an assigned user in BC to download data from BC to Power BI / Is only an API link enough?
it depends
1) if Technical user that design, maintain, and refresh Power BI (or refresh happens under her/his user) has BC license then no extra license required.
2) If technical user has no BC license then yes one type of license is required for that user. Team is the less expensive one.
Thank you very much for help.
If I understood correctly, in order to be able to download data to Power BI, the client, in addition to the user license, should buy one additional Team member BC license (for a technical user - who only downloads data to Power BI)?
Hi
1) Yes team member license is enough as far as that user has access to pages (data) that you want access from Power BI.
2) Yes. That is the only way that Power BI can access and authenticate with BC.
We use team member license for this purpose. This way we have designated user that we know it is there to refresh the data.
