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!

Thank you for the information you provided. The screenshots really helped. I am currently working with my IT department to see if we can get setup and connected.

Good afternoon,

I am still working with my organizations IT department to resolve the issue. After creating a new Power BI Service Proposal for connecting the Power BI Output Tool to my Power BI Premium Workspace, I ran into additional errors, which I have sent to my organization's IT department for further assistance. Currently, waiting for a response from them.
