To run a confluence embed power bi report setup, paste a secure report link into a page frame. Viewers then log in with their workspace account to read the charts. Many teams use public web links to save time during setup. This shortcut opens live business metrics to anyone who finds the link. Broad workspace roles also let staff see sensitive data across all team pages.
How a confluence embed power bi report workflow works
The standard setup connects your wiki page to the analytics service through a frame. First, the report author creates a secure share link inside the analytics portal. Next, the page editor places that link into an iframe block on the wiki page. When a reader opens the page, the frame asks the user to log in. The analytics service checks the user role before it loads any charts. Both platforms must allow frame sharing in their admin security settings. The workspace admin also adds the user to the right viewer group. If the user lacks a viewer role, the frame shows a blank error screen. This flow keeps the chart interactive while keeping the user on the wiki page.
What native report embedding solves and what it misses
Native embedding solves how teams share live charts inside their daily project docs. Users do not need to switch tabs to check weekly team numbers. The identity check also stops outside guests from viewing private portal frames. Still, this setup only checks who opens the front-end chart. It does not check how the report queries the database behind the scenes. Most reports use one shared service account to read from the production database. Every chart refresh runs under that single broad database role. Database logs only show the shared report account, not the wiki reader. If a report pulls raw tables, fields like emails or phone numbers load into memory. A single bad query in a shared dashboard can expose card numbers or national IDs. Native workspace roles cannot rewrite those sensitive fields in the query results.
Why shared database credentials create audit gaps
Analytics tools often pool database connections to make charts load fast. One stored database key serves hundreds of wiki readers at the same time. Security teams cannot trace which wiki user triggered a heavy database read. When an engineer updates a dataset, the shared role often has full read permissions. That role can read every table in the schema without a second check. To fix this gap, teams must inspect database queries in flight. Masking rules can rewrite emails and card numbers before data reaches the report. Per-query logs also give auditors a clear record of every data request.

Govern statements and responses across databases and APIs
Good config and scoped roles are needed setup. They do not check single queries in flight or mask sensitive fields in returned rows. Across Postgres, MySQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, ClickHouse, Kubernetes APIs, SSH, and internal HTTP endpoints, hoop.dev runs beside each supported service as an open-source proxy, a sidecar for your database or API.
First, hoop.dev guardrails block banned queries before they run. Then hoop.dev data masking rewrites matched sensitive values in responses in memory. The audit trail records every statement and verdict per resource. Furthermore, hoop.dev holds SOC 2 Type II and is open source on GitHub.
Frequently asked questions
Do wiki readers need a separate analytics license to view embedded charts?
Yes, secure frame links require each viewer to log in with a valid account. The workspace tier dictates whether free users can view the shared charts.
Why should teams avoid publish-to-web links for internal wikis?
Public web links do not ask the viewer to log in at all. Anyone on the internet who gets the link can view your company data.
How does row-level security work with embedded reports?
Row-level rules filter data based on the logged-in viewer account. Still, the backend database connection still runs under one shared service credential.
