PowerBI Portal gets smarter with SSO and file management API
At DevScope, we’re constantly evolving our products to match the needs of modern data teams. With the latest update to PowerBI Portal, we’re introducing two major features designed to simplify access, improve security, and give your organization greater control: Single Sign-On (SSO) integration and a powerful new File Management API.
Let’s explore what these updates mean for your workflow.

Seamless Authentication with Microsoft and Google SSO
Managing user credentials across multiple platforms is one of the biggest barriers to a smooth business intelligence experience. With this update, PowerBI Portal now supports Single Sign-On (SSO) using both Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) and Google Identity.
Key benefits:
- Fewer passwords, faster logins: Users can authenticate using their existing Microsoft or Google accounts—no extra setup required.
- Support for personal and organizational accounts: Compatible with both Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
- Security-first approach: Fully compliant with modern security protocols (OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect), including support for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
- Streamlined user experience: Automatic redirection to your organization’s identity provider, eliminating unnecessary steps for your users.
This upgrade provides a unified and secure way to access reports—whether you’re inside or outside the organization.

Introducing the file management API
Managing files in PowerBI Portal just got a lot more flexible. The new File Management API enables organizations to programmatically create, edit, and control access to files, allowing for deeper integration with third-party tools and more scalable data workflows.
Key capabilities:
- Create and edit files: Automate file creation with associated metadata (name, area, origin, thumbnail).
- Access management: Set granular permissions for users or groups.
- System integration: Seamlessly connect with external applications, including CRMs and data portals.
- Audit logging: Keep track of changes and ensure compliance with full operation records.

Smarter access, greater control
These two new features enhance PowerBI Portal’s position as a flexible, secure, and scalable solution for sharing and managing Power BI content across your organization.
From secure SSO logins to fully automated file workflows, the latest update ensures you can deliver business intelligence to the right people—faster and with more control than ever.
