Embedding Power BI Report into .net core Web api using Azure AD B2C Tenant

Question

Hello programmars

I am trying to implement .net core Web api which can embed PowerBI reports. I am able to do that using Azure Active Directory but the problem is Our client has Azure AD B2C tenant so how can I generate access token using users of B2C tenant.

In short I want to configure that report embedding part using Azure AD B2C tenant

Answer 1

I've implemented a solution that leverages Azure Active Directory (AD) and Azure AD B2C to authenticate users and provide access to Power BI embedded content. Here's a breakdown:

1. Azure AD Application: I've registered a new application in Azure AD, configuring it to use client credentials.
2. Service Principal: I've created a service principal associated with this application, allowing it to act on behalf of users.
3. Access Token: For successfully authenticated B2C users, I've obtained an access token using the service principal.
4. Embed Token: I've passed this access token to the Power BI SDK or REST APIs to acquire an embed token. This embed token grants permissions to the application to access and render Power BI reports or dashboards.
