Power BI Configuration

Mosaic must be authorised on your Power BI tenant to embed reports and execute DAX queries on behalf of your users.

There are three steps, in order:

1. Azure App Registration — created automatically when you activate Mosaic; this page covers what was registered and how to verify

2. Power BI Admin Portal Configurations — enable the necessary tenant-level switches in the Power BI Admin Portal

3. Mosaic App Configurations — point Mosaic at your Power BI workspaces and curate the resource catalog

Who runs these steps

You'll need:

• A user with the Power BI Administrator role (to change tenant settings)

• A user with Microsoft Entra Application Administrator rights (to verify the Mosaic enterprise application registration)

• A user with Mosaic Tenant Admin access (to curate the catalog inside Mosaic)

These are often three different people. Coordinate before you start.

How long it takes

Plan to spend ~30 minutes the first time. Most of it is one-time setup that doesn't need to be repeated unless your Power BI capacity, tenant settings, or workspaces materially change.
