An example of how Power BI Embedded can be integrated into a Django application. This project is based on the official Microsoft flask developer sample that you can find here.
- Python 3
- Azure tenant
- A Power BI workspace with at least one report
Follow the steps on aka.ms/EmbedForCustomer
This application is capable of serving multiple Power BI Reports. To do so, you have to add reports to the database according to the model defined in testapp/models.py. In addition, the application uses a simple row level security (RLS) model that defines the admin and user roles. For this it is necessary to define these roles in the reports you are about to embedd as well. If you don't know how to do this, please refer to the official Microsoft documentation on RLS in Power BI. If RLS is not desired, simply comment out lines 100 to 105 in the testapp/services.py file.
Finally you have to define these environment variables:
- DJANGO_SECRET_KEY
- AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET
- AZURE_TENANT_ID
- AZURE_CLIENT_ID
If you do not want to use environment variables in your pbi_embedded/settings.py file, you can replace every os.environ["YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE"] with hardcoded variables, but please keep in mind that you should not do this in a production environment.
