1. CSG, Power BI & Embedded

3. What is embedded ?
Embedding reports leverages existing Power BI files into sites other than the Power BI Service to allow more control of the environment.
Publish to Web report embedding uses a public report in an iframe.

Power BI Embedded is an Azure service and uses an existing Power BI report (PBIX file) published to an Azure Power BI Workspace.

The Power BI API can also be used to embed online reports in your app.
How do they differ? Custom security (not just AAD), licensing, user base and data sources are four of the primary differences between the services.
