What are the minimum Azure permissions required to publish a Power BI report using "App Owns the Data"?

I'm working on a Power BI solution, where reports are embedded for external customers(App Owns the Data). My role is not an Azure admin, and I need to ask my organization's Azure administrator to assign me the necessary permissions to publish the report and configure the embedding.

I want to ensure I request only the minimum privileges required for this task.

Could someone clarify what Azure roles or permissions I should request from my Azure administrator to complete this?
