Microsoft PowerBI (Password Grant)

Overview

Leverage PowerBI in Appian! Create and easily embed coherent, visually immersive, and interactive insights and enterprise-grade, real-time analytics. The two PowerBI plug-ins on the AppMarket deliver both a Connected System to easily access some of the most commonly used APIs, as well as Components to PowerBI’s embedded Dashboards, Tiles, Reports, Report Builder and QnA component.

This version of the PowerBI Connected System uses OAuth 2.0 Password Grant to authenticate users. Microsoft permissions are not honored in this case. So once authenticated with a specific user role (admin for example), then all embedded reports inherit that user's permissions.

Note: These plug-ins are deployed separately. You can use the Connected System plug-in by itself, but if you want to use the Component plug-in, the Connected System must be deployed and configured.

Pre-requisites: A Microsoft PowerBI subscription or trial
