No, and I actually received a response from Microsoft saying they actually don't enable the same credentials for Power BI and for this API, so as of 6 months ago it was simply not possible.

        I have managed to get the acces token, there were lot of setting to be done.
        Now I am trying to acheive a token exchange in backend for https://login.microsoft******,  but I am blocked by the CORS error even though I have added the URL into privilages parameter in capabilities.json file.
        I have read CORS limitation , is there a alternate workaround for token exchange?
