How do we connect Digital Hive to Microsoft PowerBI?

Answer

As a Digital Hive administrator, connecting to Microsoft PowerBI can be accomplished via the following steps:

Connecting Digital Hive to PowerBI requires that an app registration has been created within Azure. For more information about this process: Create a Digital Hive Azure App Registration for PowerBI
  1. Open the Digital Hive Control Center
  2. Click on the Connectors and select New Connector 
  3. Select Microsoft PowerBI
  4. Provide a name for the Connector
  5. Select an authentication method that matches how users authenticate into Microsoft PowerBI (typically, this will be PowerBI)
  6. Enter the app registration App ID and App Secret values
  7. Verify that the default Return URI matches what was used in the Azure application registration process
  8. Press Next
  9. Provide both the System credentials (used for indexing content) and your account credentials




Once the connector has been added, source content will have to be 'enabled' to be accessible from within Digital Hive. Please consult this document for further steps: https://support.digitalhive.com/portal/en/kb/articles/enable-connector-content-in-digital-hive
