Kate, To set up a login flow for your WordPress site for PowerBI report access without having people log in via Azure, you can use the PowerBI Embed Reports WordPress plugin. Here are the steps:

1. Install the PowerBI Embed Reports plugin: You can find this plugin on the WordPress plugin marketplace.
2. Retrieve the Report ID and Workspace ID from your Power BI: These IDs are needed to configure the plugin.
3. Enter the IDs into the plugin settings: This will allow the plugin to access the correct Power BI report.
4. Generate a shortcode: The plugin will generate a shortcode that you can use to embed the report on your WordPress site.
5. Paste the shortcode onto the desired page: This will seamlessly embed the report on your WordPress site. This plugin uses Microsoft’s Graph API to embed Power BI content such as dashboards, reports, Q&A, and report visuals1. It also supports row-level security (RLS) for restricting PowerBI data access to your users. Please note that while this method allows you to embed PowerBI reports in your WordPress site, users will still need to log in to view the reports if the reports are not set to public in PowerBI.
