HI Anonymous,

I suppose this should be related to the client secret expired. When account expired, the backend processing and correspond verification will also be blocked for security reasons due to the account is invalid until it reactive.

In addition, you also need to update these codes to use new version secret strings in embedded requests.

    Hello,

    As an update, it is not related to client secret. The error when a client secret expires is quite explicit: "The provided client secret keys of the app ' ' expired". The only fix I could find was to recreate the Azure app and use the new Service Principal in Power BI and back end code. I tested on the new app the expiration of the client secret and I could not replicate the "Forbidden error message". The remaining issue is we don't know how to prevent this from happening again since we did not identify the source.
