Connect Power BI

Connect your Power BI account with Power BI Agent.

Every user — both owner and member — connects their own Power BI account. This gives Power BI Agent access to the workspaces and datasets your Microsoft account has access to.

Requirements

Before you can connect Power BI, make sure you have:

  • A Power BI account.
  • Access to the Power BI workspace you want to connect (minimum role: Member).
  • A published dataset in your workspace.

Connect your account

  1. Go to Power BI in the portal.
  2. Click Connect Power BI Account — you will be redirected to Microsoft to grant access.
  3. Sign in with your Microsoft account and approve the permissions.
  4. After authorization, you will be returned to the portal and your account is connected.

Power BI Agent requests access to your workspaces and semantic models. Executing DAX queries requires write access to the semantic model — no data in Power BI is ever modified.

Datasets

After connecting your Power BI account, you can see the datasets assigned to you under Power BI. The organization owner manages which datasets are available and who has access.
