Configure Reporting Hub App Settings
1. Add Your Authentication Scheme (Optional Step)
By default, the Reporting Hub is installed with Entra ID authentication (previously known as Azure Active Directory). If you wish to change how your users authenticate, you need to add your authentication scheme before you can assign permissions. For more information, please visit our dedicated Authentication Admin page. Note that you can make changes to your authentication schemes at any time.
2. Sync Your Groups
Security groups are utilized to assign permissions to tenants and content within Reporting Hub.
Following installation, your Reporting Hub application will be integrated with Entra ID (by default) or whatever authentication scheme if you completed the optional step 1. Although the integration will be established, Reporting Hub will not automatically sync your users and security groups. You must sync groups to make security groups available to the Reporting Hub.
From your user profile, click App Settings > Manage Groups to access the page.
Select Sync Groups.
This will pull all your security groups into Reporting Hub so they can be granted permissions accordingly throughout the app. For more information, visit our dedicated Manage Groups documentation page.
3. Configure Your Global Tenant Settings
Following installation, your Reporting Hub Tenant will not have any user permissions in place nor have access to any of your Power BI workspaces. You will need to establish these from within your Global Tenant settings.
Open your Reporting Hub and select your user profile. Click App Settings > Tenant Admin to access the page.
Select Refresh Workspaces and Capacities. This provides your Reporting Hub with an up-to-date list of which Power BI Workspaces and Capacities it has access to, so you may add them to your Global Tenant.
Click the ellipses and Edit button of your Global Tenant.
Your Global Tenant settings will look similar to the screenshot below after installation:
3.1 - Select the Tenant Administrator
After installation, the user who completed the setup is automatically assigned as a Platform Admin with Global Permissions. To designate them as a Tenant Administrator, select their name from the dropdown list.
If additional admins are required, they can be added from the Manage Seats page in App Settings.
Manage Seats3.2 - Apply Your Power BI Workspaces
A Power BI workspace must be added to the tenant for your Reporting Hub application to access it.
Ensure you have properly configured your Workspace in Power BI.
Select the workspace(s) from the Power BI Workspaces dropdown you wish to integrate with Reporting Hub.
Click Save.
3.3 - Apply a Parent Group (Optional)
The "Parent Group" is the top-level security group that controls access to a Reporting Hub tenant. If set, users and security groups must be part of this Parent Group to access the tenant.
This field is optional for your Global Tenant. Enter a Parent Group only to limit access to the Reporting Hub global tenant to certain security groups in your organization. Leave this field blank to allow access for your entire organization.
Caution: Ensure your user is a member of a security group that belongs to the Parent Group you set. You will lock yourself out of the application if your user is not associated with this Parent Group. We also recommend NOT using the Service Principal security group that was created as part of the installation process. The Service Principal security group is meant for enabling connectivity with the Power BI Service.
