API - Update Datasources In Group for Paginated Reports - Unauthorized
Hello,
I try to update RDL report data source via API (using service principal).
{
"updateDetails": [
{
"datasourceName": "JIRADB",
"connectionDetails": {
"server": "SQLBIP1DP1",
"database": "COGNOS_REPORTING"
}
}
]
}
And I receive this return message:
{
"error": {
"code": "Unauthorized",
"message": "Update datasource JIRADB is unauthorized"
}
}
I can not find solution. Service principal is admin in workspace.
But I can not set service principal as owner on data gateway data source (error msg no email address) - is this the problem?
I found the solution - You first need to call take over API - Reports - Take Over In Group - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn. Then You can call API to change data source.

Hi DavidPi,
AFAIK, update dataset should work for power bi reports. If you are work with RDL files, please try to use the update data source API if helps:

Yes, I use this API, but receive message - Update datasource JIRADB is unauthorized.
I do not know which permision I should have more. In Doc I see -
- The user must be the data source owner
What does this mean? How to set owner of data source in RDL? I am confused.

Our paginated reports are directly from Oracle (through data gateway). Maybe this API can be used to rebind dataset - Reports - Rebind Report In Group - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn.
But we didn"t test this.
