BI Genius Enable Power BI Service Settings
After you have installed BI Genius, you need to ensure that it has adequate permission in your Power BI tenant and access to your Power BI workspaces.
BI Genius uses the same Entra ID app registration as Reporting Hub, so it can already access any workspace that's integrated with Reporting Hub. You still need to confirm the tenant admin settings below (a few are specific to BI Genius), but you only need to grant workspace access again if you add a new workspace
Enable Power BI Tenant Admin Settings
BI Genius uses the same Power BI tenant settings as Reporting Hub, plus two additional ones.
First, make sure all of the Reporting Hub Power BI tenant settings are enabled; see Enable Power BI Service Settings. If you've already deployed Reporting Hub, these are likely already on.
Then, in the Power BI Admin portal under Tenant settings, enable these two additional settings that BI Genius requires:
For each setting,
Set Apply to to The entire organization or Specific security groups.
If you scope it to specific groups, add the Reporting Hub Service Principal security group (the one created during your Reporting Hub installation, which BI Genius reuses)
Select Apply.
Connect Your Power BI Workspace
This step is optional. Because BI Genius uses the same app registration as Reporting Hub, it can already access any workspace that's integrated with Reporting Hub. Follow the steps below only if you want to give BI Genius access to a new workspace that isn't yet connected to Reporting Hub.
Log in to the Power BI service.
On the left menu, select Workspaces
Choose the Workspace you want BI Genius to access.
From the top menu, select Manage access.
Select Add people or groups.
Begin typing the name of your Reporting Hub app registration (the Name your Application value you entered on the Entra ID Application Registrations page of the Reporting Hub installer).
Select the option that shows an AppID underneath it.
Select Admin.
Select Add.
