HOW IT WORKS

Authenticating and Authorization The Power BI Embedded service uses Keys and App

Tokens for authentication and authorization, instead of explicit end-user authentication.

Two Ways to authenticate Keys: From Power BI Embedded in Azure Portal (Access Keys)

App Token: are used for all embedding requests. They’re designed to run client-side so they’re restricted to a single report. App tokens are JWT (JSON Web Token) that is signed by one of your keys.
