Make the publish to web feature available to be used for private sites so that confidential information can also be shown.
And please make the authentication method as flexible as possible

Today I’m very excited to announce the availability of the Power BI report web part for SharePoint Online! We’ve heard from you that you wanted an easy way to securely share Power BI reports in internal sites, enforce security permission, including data security. We’ve been busy at work with the SharePoint team building an out-of-the-box web part for SharePoint Online using their new Modern Pages infrastructure. The new web part we are releasing today enables SharePoint authors to embed Power BI reports directly in SharePoint Online pages with no code required! The feature is available today for Office 365 First Release customers. Truely, this is the 'private' publish to web. You can read more about it on the Power BI Blog: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/integrate-power-bi-reports-in-sharepoint-online/ I know from reading many of the comments below that there are other cases in which people want to embed in external portals that enforce authentication, or on billboards that update data frequently. We have a great solution you can build on in Power BI Embedded, an Azure service you can use to build these kinds of experiences. You can read about it here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/power-bi-embedded/ We really appreciate all the feedback and ideas. Please tell us what else you'd like to see us add to Power BI. -Lukasz

RE: private publish to web
I think the PowerBI should have 2 options; publish with embeeded code and publish to Sharepoint. Maybe the next step could be to load renderized images or the embeeded scripts using REST or something else. Also the public gallery is a bad idea.
RE: private publish to web
Where the report would be embedded: Within a project management site (not sharepoint).
Would the users be internal or external: Internal. Access and user management is already set up in the project management site, so we want to take advantage of that and not have to share with individual users (and have them access) PowerBI.com. It is not currently feasible to set up tokens/keys to use the official PowerBI Embedded.
Would it still be for anyone on the internet to access the report: No.
RE: private publish to web
I'd love to use this feature to embed the report into SharePoint online. If Power BI comes up with an integration for SharePoint online, this feature wouldn't matter as much to me, as I don't foresee a reason why we want to have a URL to share outside of our organization. Thank you!
RE: private publish to web
Hi Lukasz,
Here is a use case. Publishing publicly is the only way to embed power bi into crm online. That could not be accepted by some big companies. That is a severe security issue as power bi may display some very sensitive data. We are waiting for a complete RLS feature (in preview now and does not really work) but that may be not enough.
RE: private publish to web
Where the report would be embedded: The primary access route would be with the direct link. We would share the links internally to quickly access reports. All of employees 5,000+ have access to Power BI as part of our enterprise account but getting them to the data they need in 1-click is crucial.
Would the users be internal or external: Internal.
Would it still be for anyone on the internet to access the report: No.

RE: private publish to web
Great! this feature answers the need to anonymously share an entire report without having to login. This feature should be a right to a every Pro users as it is with other BI tools. In my mind, it still lacks some analytics and tweaks. For instance, showing the number of users that accessed your url, turning off/on the embed url rather than delete it. One thing that I do not agree with is this Note:Your report might be featured in a public gallery.
Why would anyone want their live data be in a public gallery? it's ridic
RE: private publish to web
You might take a look here. This should do what you want. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/power-bi-embedded-what-is-power-bi-embedded/
RE: private publish to web
It was a shame when I saw the public to web announcement, whilst its great we've been waiting for years for PRIVATE sharing, I guess we'll have to keep waiting
RE: private publish to web
Does the feature "share with external users" answer your needs? For me it clause to what you ask for. You can privately share with some external or specifics user. Maybe there is a use case I don't see.
