How do I Connect PBRS When Power BI is Using MFA, 2FA or Custom Organization Authentication?

Standard integration methods will not work when using MFA, 2FA and COA. Here's how to register PBRS if your organization has these switched on for Power BI.

• Select a Supported Account Type.
• Under Redirect URI, select Public Client.
  • Type in http://localhost

• The next page will display your registered application details.
• Scroll down and click API Permissions.

• Click Add Permissions > Power BI Service > Delegated Permissions.
  1. Check the following permissions:
     • DashBoard > ReadWrite.All
     • Dataset > ReadWrite.All
     • Report > ReadWrite.All
     • Group > Read.All

     • User. Read should already be present under Microsoft Graph.
