  • For secure communication with the services, a custom SSL certificate may be used. Install the certificate on the host and specify the certificate thumbprint in the server setupA screenshot of a computer AI-generated content may be incorrect.

Power BI Configuration

To configure PetroVisor to use a customer-managed Power BI/Fabric tenant instead of PetroVisor's default Power BI Embedded instance, create a Microsoft Entra service principal and configure PetroVisor with the corresponding Tenant ID, Client ID, and Client Secret. 

  

Add the service principal to a Microsoft Entra security group and enable the appropriate settings in the Power BI/Fabric Admin Portal:

  • Service principals can create workspaces, connections, and deployment pipelines
    Required if PetroVisor should automatically create Power BI workspaces and related resources through the Fabric APIs. If workspace provisioning is handled manually, this permission may not be necessary. To provision a workspace manually, make sure the Power BI workspace name exactly matches the PetroVisor workspace name.
  • Service principals can call Fabric public APIs
    Required for PetroVisor to access Power BI/Fabric resources such as workspaces, reports, and other artifacts through the public APIs.

  

In addition, the service principal must be granted appropriate access to the Power BI workspaces that PetroVisor will use. Tenant-level settings alone do not provide access to workspace content. 

Federated identity management

To enable Microsoft Entra ID SSO for an on-prem PetroVisor deployment, the PetroVisor application must be available in the customer's Entra ID tenant and the required permissions must be consented to.

For user authentication and basic profile retrieval, the Microsoft Graph User.Read delegated permission is typically sufficient.

If PetroVisor is configured to map Entra ID groups to PetroVisor groups by querying Microsoft Graph for group memberships, the GroupMember.Read.All permission is additionally required. This permission requires administrator consent in the customer's tenant.
