That is driving me insane.
My main goal is to embed POWER BI reports/tiles in my Rails Web App.
I have a POWER BI account with some reports. I have also created a Workspace collection on the Azure Portal for Power BI Embedded.
Through the portal I can't add a Workspace to my WorkspaceCollection (why M$?)
I'm working on OSX so I can't follow those instructions (PowerBI-embedded.sln in Visual Studio): https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/power-bi-embedded-get-started-sample/
So, as an alternative I'm using the OSX Azure CLI: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/xplat-cli-install/
After login I'm able to do this:
$ azure powerbi -h
help: Commands to manage your Azure Power BI Embedded Workspace Collections
help:
help: Create a new workspace collection
help: powerbi create [options] <resourceGroup> <name> <location> [tags]
help:
help: List workspace collections within subscription or within resource group
help: powerbi list [options] [resourceGroup]
help:
help: Commands to manage your Power BI Workspace Collection keys
help: powerbi keys list [options] <resourceGroup> <name>
help: powerbi keys renew [options] <resourceGroup> <name>
help:
help: Commands to manage your Power BI Workspaces
help: powerbi workspaces list [options] <resourceGroup> <name>
help:
help: Options:
help: -h, --help output usage information
help:
help: Current Mode: arm (Azure Resource Management)
...and this:
$ azure powerbi list
info: Executing command powerbi list
+ Getting workspace collections in subscription: 12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012
data: Name Group Location Provisioning State Tags
data: --------------------------- --------------------- ----------- ------------------ ----
data: MyCompanyWorkspaceCollection MyCompanyResourceGroup West Europe Succeeded null
data: MyCompany-WC MyCompanyResourceGroup West Europe Succeeded null
info: powerbi list command OK
Great!
Now, how can I provision a new Workspace in my MyCompanyWorkspaceCollection (Provision a new workspace in an existing workspace collection
)?
And After that, How to import a PBIX file into that Workspace?
Many thanks for your advices!

Thank you @CuongLe.
Hi,
To succeed I had to forgot everything I had read before... and start again with this: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/power-bi-embedded-iframe/
ON AZURE PORTAL Create Power BI workspace collection, and get access key (Provisioning)
GET A PBIX From Power BI Desktop or a sample file
WITH A CLI (must use that one : https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-Cli ) Create a Power BI workspace Import .pbix file into the workspace Get report id
IN MY RAILS APP (using https://github.com/jwt/ruby-jwt ) Embed the report into the web page
I can't tell about the many bugs encountered, or the signup/login problems with Azure... it was really painful to get there.
Cheers everyone.
