Why I need to sign in to ArcGIS online when I publish power BI Book

[YObaidat]

Hi All
I'm encountering an issue with my Power BI report that includes the ArcGIS for Power BI plugin. The report utilizes private shared data from our ArcGIS Online organization. However, when I share the report link with another user, they are prompted to sign in to their ArcGIS account again to view the ArcGIS for Power BI widget content, even if they're already signed in to ArcGIS Online within the same browser session. Is there a method to store ArcGIS credentials within the report itself to streamline access for users?"

@NaZhang_Esri  , do you have any idea?

Hi @YObaidat,

Sorry for the late reply.😊 The reason why it requires ArcGIS Sign in is because there's a private layer from your ArcGIS Online Organization. To view that private layer, viewers will need to sign in.

"even if they're already signed in to ArcGIS Online within the same browser session" - Do you mean signing in to ArcGIS Online in Power BI? If that's the case, viewers shouldn't see the sign in page. 

Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you!
