Problems connecting Power BI Output Tool

JosephRJohnson4

The problem I am having with the Power BI Output Tool occurs after clicking the "Connect" button on the left side and sign into my Microsoft account. After signing into Microsoft, I get the below pop-up. I am not surprised that approval is needed especially since I work for the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). However, I was wondering if anyone in this community has experienced this problem and might have a solution.

Hi Joseph,

I would recommend reaching out to your Power BI Admin to grant you access to Power BI's API. Below are screen shots to show what is needed to provide access to output to Power BI service. Also, thank you for posting this question! I never knew about this tool up until now! It was pretty easy to build out a quick dataset to test!

Screen shot of what is needed on the Power BI Admin side:

• Allow service principals to use Power BI APIs to be enabled
• If the access is specified to a specific security group, request access to one of those groups or be added directly to have access.

Screen shot of instructions from the Microsoft Power BI help link to help your Power BI Admin grant the access needed.

Best of luck!
