The use of PowerShell scripts in the Windows environment can greatly enhance the management and automation of various tasks. In this article, we will explore the Az.PowerBIEmbedded module and provide practical examples of how to use PowerShell scripts to interact with Power BI Embedded resources in a Windows environment.

Power BI Embedded is a Microsoft Azure service that allows developers to embed Power BI reports, dashboards, and tiles into their applications. With the Az.PowerBIEmbedded module, we can use PowerShell to manage and automate tasks related to Power BI Embedded resources, such as creating workspaces, importing reports, and generating embed tokens.

Examples:

1. Installing the Az.PowerBIEmbedded Module: To begin, we need to install the Az.PowerBIEmbedded module. Open a PowerShell session and run the following command:

   Install-Module -Name Az.PowerBIEmbedded -AllowClobber -Force

   This command will install the module and ensure that any conflicting modules are removed.

2. Authenticating to Azure: Before we can start interacting with Power BI Embedded resources, we need to authenticate to Azure. Run the following command to sign in to your Azure account:

   Connect-AzAccount

   You will be prompted to enter your Azure credentials.

3. Creating a Power BI Embedded Workspace: To create a new Power BI Embedded workspace, use the following PowerShell script:

   
   $resourceGroup = "MyResourceGroup"
   $workspaceName = "MyWorkspace"

New-AzPowerBIEmbeddedWorkspace -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup -Name $workspaceName

Replace "MyResourceGroup" with the name of your Azure resource group and "MyWorkspace" with the desired name for your workspace.

4. Importing a Power BI Report:
To import a Power BI report into a workspace, use the following script:

$workspaceId = "MyWorkspaceId" $reportName = "MyReport" $reportFile = "C:\Path\To\Report.pbix"

Import-AzPowerBIEmbeddedReport -WorkspaceId $workspaceId -Name $reportName -File $reportFile

Replace "MyWorkspaceId" with the ID of your Power BI Embedded workspace, "MyReport" with the desired name for your report, and "C:\Path\To\Report.pbix" with the path to your Power BI report file.

5. Generating an Embed Token:
To generate an embed token for a Power BI report, use the following script:

$workspaceId = "MyWorkspaceId" $reportId = "MyReportId"

$embedToken = New-AzPowerBIEmbeddedEmbedToken -WorkspaceId $workspaceId -ReportId $reportId

Replace "MyWorkspaceId" with the ID of your Power BI Embedded workspace and "MyReportId" with the ID of your Power BI report.
