Hi,

 

I'm trying to start/stop Azure Power BI Embedded capacity using the REST API, but it is returning Unauthorized.

 

When executing the Capacities - Resume API at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi-embedded/capacities/resume#code-try-0, it runs successfully, but when I run the same code (see below) in a .NET application it returns an Unauthorized error.

 

The difference between the application call and the REST API Try It is the access token.  If I use the access token generated at the url above in the application, it runs successfully, but if I use the access token that I obtained using the Power BI .NET SDK, then it fails with the Unauthorized error.

 

Please help, stuck on this problem for a long time.

 

Thanks,

Ronny
