HI Anonymous,

Have you turned on the option on the admin portal that allows the rest API to use service principal authorizations? If not, please turn on this option first.

BTW, current the service principal only supports some read-only admin APIs, please take a look at the following links to know more about these settings and limitations:

Embed Power BI content in an embedded analytics application with service principal and an application secret - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

Enable service principal authentication for read-only admin APIs - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

Hey there, 

 

Thank you for your response.

 

API service principal was already enabled.

 


So I'm guessing I'm missing something else.

    HI Anonymous,

    According to the error message, it seems like the issue is related to the client id('iss' which you used in code), perhaps you can take a look at the following link which mentions the OAuth 2.0 client credentials and client id:

    OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow on the Microsoft identity platform | Microsoft Docs

    BTW, you can also try to change your aud values to the value that the document mentions if it works:

    https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenantId}/v2.0
https: //login.microsoftonline.com/{tenantId}/oauth2/token

    Regards,
