Disadvantages registering Power BI for API
Hello everyone!
I am working within a Power BI Pro-environment as a Non-PBI-Admin.
Now I would like to start working with the API and our PBI workspace.
But before I will register for this workspace, are there any disadvantages?
Will something change for our users/ consumers?

Hi joshua1990 ,
Here are the known limitations:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/automation/api-rest-api-limitations
For users, you need to authorize users:https://www.sqlshack.com/how-to-access-power-bi-rest-apis-programmatically/
In order to authorize the user, we need to allow the user to sign in to the app and retrieve the access token. Let us prepare the sign-in URL first. The URL is https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize, and it accepts the following parameters.
- ClientID
- ResponseType
- RedirectURI
- ResponseMode
- Scope
- State
Best Regards,
Liang
