We have the following scenario we’re trying to support:
- Based on a user’s input our program generates result tables
- The program automatically creates an Azure SQL DB containing the result tables
- We created a PowerBI Template to present these results
- We want to let the user load the data into the template with one click
- We defined a QueryParameter with the DB name
- After the user inputs the DB name, we want the data from that DB to load
Problem:
We want the user not to have to deal with excessive authentication (like inputting a user/pass other than their own). We’re able to get SSMS to connect with active directory integration, but not via Power BI.
Questions:
What type of authentication can we get working inside an intranet (corpnet) with Power BI desktop and our Azure SQL DB?
Are we doing the right thing? Is there a better way to achieve what we’re trying to do programmatically (change report data sets programmatically)?
Thanks!
