Create PowerBI Content

If you do not already have content in your PowerBI instance, create at least one report. If everything is configured correctly you should see that reports are owned by the application and not by a specific user. In the screenshot below the name of our registered application is Power BI Embed PoC. If you don't have any published reports, or don't know how to get to this screen, we'll cover that in the next few sections.Image Removed. 

You can author PowerBI content on either their website at https://app.powerbi.com or via their desktop software.
