Right, this is part of the just in time provisioning of external users. The prefix is where their login is coming from. Ensures uniqueness and all that. You should expect a prefix for any supported external federated login. I think outlook.com, live.com probably some others.

Visual Specific Data Colors
I've seen other people ask this in various places, but is there a way to use the "dataColors":[...] code to specify different color schemes for different visuals? Or is that a possible future feature? It looks like right now I can set the code in the .json within visuals, but it doesn't actually do anything.
I've been experimenting with using DAX and conditional formatting to accomplish what I want, but I'm looking to see if there is a more easy solution that is distributable across reports, so I don't have to create a new DAX function for each new report.

Re: Is it possible to use an API Bearer to load a report preauthenticated
This is helpful however looks to require IIS?
Is there a way to embedded it for example in an app that only has a browser (and can send headers along with the browser navigate request)
If this does work without IIS/some sort of hosted solution - is there steps?

Can you use StructuralTypeDescriptor's without capabilities.json?
When making a Custom Visual: in the documentation about objects and properties (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/power-bi/developer/visuals/objects-properties) it specifys that the "type" is either a ValueTypeDescriptor or a StructuralTypeDescriptor.
However, in schema.capabilities.json, even in the latest API version, (v2.6.0) only fill and fillRule are allowed.
If I try and add another type like "image" into my capabilities.json, I get the error "Invalid capabilities" when I try to build the visual.
Is there any way to use the other StructuralTypeDescriptor's from PowerBI-visuals.d.ts ? "image" and "geoJson" types in particular would be useful.
I can make-do with a series of custom string properties, but it makes more sense to use the existing interfaces.
Thanks!

Re: Power BI for MAC
Hi
There's no plans currently for Desktop to be developed for the Mac. This Guy in a Cube video covers the current state, as well as ways to run Desktop on a Mac using options such as Parallels or turbo.net.
They also mention that the intended roadmap is that the service (web) experience should incorporate most of the Desktop experience over time, but this is still not quite there yet, so hopefully the above options should be something you can look into.
Good luck!
Daniel

Re: Can you use StructuralTypeDescriptor's without capabilities.json?
Hi
Unfortunately not - if the capabilities.json does not validate against the prescribed schema, then you'll run into these issues and the visual just won't build.
For now, the workarounds you're specifying (string properties and parsing them to the desired types on enumeration, and back when update) are the way to go, but I agree this would be a useful addition to the user experience. Perhaps you can create an enhancement request for it?
Another alternative would be to consider using advanced edit mode (EDIT: correct link) to build a UI component for these properties specifically for the end user, and handle the read/write from the capabilities accordingly. The d3.js visual does something like this (albeit with text boxes, but could be modified to use other widgets):
- js and css objects in capabilities
- Show/hide containers based on mode
- Persistence from editor to objects

Daniel

I thought that might be the case. Advanced edit mode is new to me, I was doing the same thing with a boolean property, but advanced edit mode is taylor made for this kind of thing.
FYI, I think you linked to the wrong page for advanced edit mode. Here is the documentation for those that follow.

Re: Custom data connector (SDK) help required
Hi,
Rather than build a connector in the power query SDK why not build it outside in the cloud?
My course teaches you exactly how to do this and goes through detailed walkthroughs and everything I do is done without writing any code!

Re: Is it possible to use an API Bearer to load a report preauthenticated
Hi
Both App owns data and user owns data require Web Server like IIS
Other option is to use Secure Embed : This option help you to embed in any of the apps (don't need any IIS) there are some limitations
Limitations:
- The user will need to sign-in to view the report whenever they open a new browser window.
- Some browsers require you to refresh the page after sign-in, especially when using InPrivate or InCognito modes.
- To achieve a single sign-on experience, use the Embed in SharePoint Online option, or build a custom integration using the User Owns Data approach. Learn more about User owns data
- The automatic authentication capability provided with the Embed option does not work with the Power BI JavaScript API. For the Power BI JavaScript API, use the User Owns Data approach to embedding. Learn more about User owns data
- Secure embed does not support paginated reports or dashboards.
- Embedding in Portals for Azure B2B users is not yet supported.
Not sure you can override the autentication and provide the bearer token with this option.
