Please provide an API to allow developers to add the ability for users to subscribe to a report if the report has been embedded into a third party application.

Currently this can only be done though the Power BI app on PowerBI.com which users won't have access to if Power BI has been embedded.

This is very useful functionality because users love receiving reports via email. It also means that row-level security (RLS) can be maintained if the report has been scheduled by the user and not by an administrator through PowerBI.com on their behalf.

This would help us greatly in migrating away from a competitor product (SAP BusinessObjects) that has very powerful scheduling capabilities.

RE: Ability to subscribe to reports in Power BI Embedded

This would still be a very useful feature for ISVs who have embedded Power BI. This is something older more established BI tools provide.
