Hi&nbsp;Anonymous,&nbsp;did you assign the required permissions to the native app?for getting tiles you will need the Tile.Read.All and for the dashboards the Dashboard.Read.All.&nbsp;Hope it helps,&nbsp;Thanos

Hi&nbsp;Anonymous&nbsp;I have followed the steps:Install&nbsp;PowerShell&nbsp;and the&nbsp;Azure PowerShell cmdletsDownload the&nbsp;PowerShell scriptNext, you will need a AAD client ID – you can get this in a few easy clicks from our&nbsp;app registration portal. For app type, select native app. For redirect URI, you can enter&nbsp;urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob. Under API access, be sure to check all the boxesTake the client ID you received in the step above and paste it into line 3 of the scriptRun PowerShell as administrator and navigate to the directory where you downloaded the script&gt; ./copyWorkspace.ps1From APP registration portal I have checked next&nbsp;Dataset APIsRead All DatasetsRead and Write All DatasetsReport and Dashboard APIsRead All DashboardsRead All ReportsRead and Write All ReportsOther APIsRead All GroupsCreate Content&nbsp;Regards,&nbsp;Borut

Hi&nbsp;Anonymous,&nbsp;I think that it will need some debugging from your side. The problem seems to be arised from the request in this line of the script. You could probably add some debug messages in order to see what's going on.&nbsp;I also quote some of the limitations of the script as mentioned in the step-by-step guide:&nbsp;"Note that as-is, this script has some limitations.Since we use the export and import PBIX APIs to copy datasets, we can only copy the datasets that were built in Power BI Desktop – i.e. streaming datasets, samples, etc., cannot be copiedYou must have edit permissions on the source workspace, since edit permissions are required for export PBIXThis script won’t copy over refresh schedules, alerts, subscriptions, or workspace memberships – those will have to be manually recreated on the target workspace"Additionally, this comment from Gregory Turner in the tutorial may be useful to you:"Unfortunately, the piece that clones Tiles only works for pinned tiles from reports. Tiles with links do not get cloned right and the API seems to have no option for resetting properties".&nbsp;Regards,&nbsp;Thanos
