  1. We created a PowerBI report and uploaded it to the SaaS cloud. PowerBI being a Microsoft product uses Azure for storage.
  2. From our Java webapplication, we want to embed the report. PowerBI recommends the following steps https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/register-app to achieve it.
  3. We are not able to grant permissions for the “App” created in Azure. https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_AAD_IAM/ApplicationsListBlade

It is basically failing to grant permission. I'm the owner of the "app" that I created, but my role in Azure is "user"...who would be able grant permission to my "app" that is looking for "Power BI" privileges.

You'll need a user who has "Global administrator" directory role to do the "Grant Permissions".

It's stated in the Microsoft documentation you're following as well. The one you mention in point 2 of your question.

PowerBI recommends the following steps https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/register-app to achieve it.
