We (and many others) would like to be able to have a public URL for any dashboard that is created. This would enable us to share visualizations outside our organization, with partners, etc.

We will think about enabling this. Won't "embedding" in a public site via iframe be sufficient?

RE: Public URL for Dashboards

I think this has already been completed with this enhancement, no: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/6872640-share-with-external-users-outside-my-organisation?

Please add private embedding on websites

RE: Public URL for Dashboards

I plan to try the embedding in the next week or so. Will let you know how that turns out.

Yes the iframe is very good for reports. Not sure if dashboard in iframe would add value.

RE: Public URL for Dashboards

This is now possible with 'Publish to Web' feature. Its pure genius of Microsoft to come out with this feature.

Here's link to how you can implement it.

RE: Public URL for Dashboards

I don't think embed only will work. Why not follow the public.tableau.com approach?

RE: Public URL for Dashboards

Embedding dashboards in website would be cool. I need this for clients to view their data when they log into our portal.

RE: Public URL for Dashboards

Iframe embedding will not work. You would still have to authenticate to the data. That may also cause SSL certificate issues too.

RE: Public URL for Dashboards

I agree for cross organization sharing this would be ideal.

RE: Public URL for Dashboards

In my eyes, iFrame would be sufficient. But first of all we need to have the chance to share data to external users not from the own organisation. :)
