Thanks for the info.  But the issue I have is different.  We are not generating Access Token, we acquire the Access Token using Azure AD secret ... the issue is why the token returned does not work when it is used with Power BI REST API ?

 

Thanks

    Do you mean you did NOT have admin rights? I'm also stuck on this.

        Thank you for the clarification, but I'm still a bit confused. I am an admin im my workspace, but I'm still getting this error. It seems to me, that once you get the Token for the clientId/Secret, requests are made under that context, so my own credentials (and whether or not I'm an admin) shouldn't matter.
