Learn how to register an Azure Active Directory application for use with Power® BI. A Microsoft Azure administrator must complete this task before Analytics Content Hub users can access Power BI content.
Procedure
-
Go to https://portal.azure.com.
- Sign in to Azure with an administrator account.
- Select the Azure Active Directory menu option.
- Select the App registrations menu option.
- Click New registration.
- In the Register an application window, enter a name for the
application.
- Select the required Supported account types option. Typically,
Accounts in this organizational directory only is selected. However, this
value varies based on the requirements of your installation.
- The Redirect URI (optional) parameter allows Power BI to return to Analytics Content Hub during the authentication process.
Important: This
parameter is not optional.
The value of this parameter should be, for
example,https://Analytics_Content_Hub_servername:9443/Theia/oauth/authFinish. The drop-down value
should be set to
Web.
- Click Register.
- Select the API permissions menu option.
- Click Add a permission.
- Select the Power BI Service option.
- For the What type of permissions does your application require?
option, select Delegated permissions.
- Select the following permissions by expanding each section.
Note: If the Power BI Persistent Filters feature is required for use within Analytics Content Hub, the UserState.ReadWrite.All
API permission is required.
- Click Add permissions.
- Optional: At the bottom of the API permissions window,
click Grant admin consent for domain.com to bypass the content window for end
users. Then click Yes.
- Select Certificates & secrets.
- Click New client secret.
- Enter a Description and select Never for the expiry.
- Click Add.
- Take note of the value, as it will be used in Analytics Content Hub (as appSecret) to establish the connection to Power BI.
Tip: You must record this value for your reference because it will not be visible
again. If you lose the appSecret value, create a new appSecret by re-doing steps 18-20.
