Power BI Embedded Analytics Playground Updates

Headshot of article author Noam Raveh

Earlier this year we released a new and improved version of our embedded analytics playground, whichย isย aย one-stop shop for Power BI embedded analytics.ย The playground offers a wide range of experiences, from embedding your own report and interacting with our client APIs, toย exploring interactive showcases and demos.

If you havenโ€™t checked it out yet, you canย head over to theย Power BI embedded analytics playgroundย and start exploring, or learn more about itย here.

Sinceย the release of the new playground,ย weโ€™ve been constantly working to make sure the playgroundย fitsย all your needs and lets you make the most of Power BI embedded analytics.ย Asย part of that weโ€™re thrilled to introduce the followingย updates.

 

Use your own embed token

You can now embed a report in our developer sandbox by using your own embed token. This isย in addition to theย existingย options ofย embeddingย aย sample report, or selecting one of your available Power BI reports.

If you areย using theย embed for your customersย solution, you will be generating embed tokens using REST APIsย to let your app know which Power BI content can be accessed by its usersย and what their access level is.

Once youโ€™ve generated an embed token, you can enter it in the playgroundย toย test the report andย ensure that the correctย content and access levels have been set. You can then continue to explore our APIs and test them out on your report.

 

Use your embed token in the developer sandbox

 

If you’re using row-level security (RLS)ย to restrict user access to data, you canย test it in the developer sandbox by inserting an embed token generatedย for the relevant identity youย wouldย like test. You can learn how to do soย here.

If youโ€™re interested in learning moreย aboutย embedding Power BI for your customersย andย usingย embed tokens, you can read moreย here.

 

Localization

You can now view and interact with the Power BI embedded analytics playground in multiple different languages.

At theย footer of the playground,ย you will find aย drop-downย menu withย allย the available locales. Click yourย preferredย localeย and start playing around.

Thatโ€™s all for this post. Be sure to followย theย Microsoft Power BI blogย to be the first to hear aboutย any exciting changes!

As always, weโ€™dย beย happy to hear more from you. If you have any ideas or feedback about our Power BI embedded analytics Playground,ย you can share them with us throughย theย playground form.
