Detailed Information 

Log in

If a report link has been shared, click the link. If you do not have a link, go to app.powerbi.com. Please make sure that you use your Single Sign On (SSO) credentials to log in. For the very first time, the system may ask for your work phone number. It is just for one-time authentication purposes and Microsoft will not call you regarding Power BI log-in.

If you still have issues with log in, go to your My Campus Portal. Then click the "UMS Quick Links" to expand.  Find "Power BI" and click the link

In general, when a user (with UMS account) signs into PowerBI Service for the first time, a PowerBI (free) license automatically gets added to their ID. When the license never got enabled for UMS ID, IT help desk person had to manually add the free license to the UMS account.
