Set up

Add Power BI to Oh My Pi in four steps

Admins approve the server once. Everyone in Oh My Pi then gets it through the same governed connection.

  1. 1

    Add Power BI to Runlayer

    Power BI isn’t in the Runlayer catalog yet, so an admin adds it by its MCP server URL.

    Adding a connector manually
  2. 2

    Connect Oh My Pi to Runlayer

    Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Oh My Pi by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Oh My Pi reaches Power BI’s 4 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Power BI

    Sign in the way Power BI requires. Runlayer holds the credentials so they stay out of the client’s configuration.

  4. 4

    Use Power BI from Oh My Pi

    Power BI’s approved tools appear in Oh My Pi. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

Control

What Runlayer can see and stop in Oh My Pi

Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what Oh My Pi exposes to Runlayer.

  • Gateway policy (available)

    Every Power BI call from Oh My Pi passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.

  • Audit trail (available)

    Each call is recorded with the user, Oh My Pi as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.

  • Native enforcement adapter (not available)

    Runlayer has no device-side adapter for Oh My Pi yet, so control happens at the gateway.
