Power BI Integration in Birmingham
Embedding Power BI into Birmingham applications, where the security model has to be carried across the boundary. Your application knows who the user is; the report does not — so the token issued to display it must carry the identity and the row-level rules, or every customer sees the same data regardless of who signed in.
Why this comes up
The problem
A report is embedded in the customer portal, and the row-level security is being applied by the front end rather than the token.
What you get
What we deliver
- Embed tokens generated server-side with the effective identity applied
- Row-level security enforced in the dataset rather than in the application
- Capacity requirements established, since embedding for customers is licensed differently
- Token lifetime and refresh handled so long sessions do not fail mid-use
- Dataset refresh scheduled against how current the embedded data must be
- Access tested adversarially, by attempting to view another tenant's data

Working in Birmingham
West Midlands
Birmingham is the UK's second city and its business base is broad rather than specialised, so projects here range from single-site hospitality systems to multi-region platforms for professional services firms.
Briefs range widely, but the recurring themes are multi-site operations needing one system instead of five, and professional services firms replacing spreadsheets with something auditable.

Power BI Integration in Birmingham — common questions
- Where should the security boundary sit?
- In the token and the dataset. The application decides who the user is and passes that into the embed token, and the dataset's rules restrict what they can see — anything enforced only in the front end is a display preference rather than a security control.
- How does licensing differ for embedding?
- Showing reports to people outside your organisation generally requires dedicated capacity rather than per-user licences, which is a different cost model entirely. Establishing which applies before building avoids a launch blocked by a purchase nobody planned.
- What happens when a token expires?
- The embedded report stops working mid-session unless refresh is handled. Tokens are short-lived by design, so an application where users keep a dashboard open for hours needs to renew them quietly rather than presenting an error.
- How should isolation be verified?
- By trying to break it with a valid session. Altering the identifiers passed into the token and confirming the report returns nothing is the test that matters, and it is worth repeating whenever the dataset or the security rules change.
- Do you work with businesses across West Midlands?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout West Midlands, including Birmingham and the surrounding West Midlands area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Birmingham businesses do you usually work with?
- Briefs range widely, but the recurring themes are multi-site operations needing one system instead of five, and professional services firms replacing spreadsheets with something auditable. Beyond that we work across Professional Services, Manufacturing, Financial Services, Construction, Hospitality and Logistics.
- Do you cover the areas around Birmingham?
- Yes — we work throughout West Midlands, including Coventry, Wolverhampton, Derby, Leicester. Birmingham is an urban area of roughly 2,600,000+, and we take on work across the wider West Midlands region rather than the city boundary alone.
