Which API method are you trying to invoke? If you are trying to inboke a method that is not an admin method, than the service principal must have access to the workspace.

    Just the general "Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url 'apps' -Method Get" fails

      To be more clear, what URL are you using. That defines which method you are calling.

        Thank you for helping.  I thought that just 'apps' was the url and the method was 'get', but I understand I am a novice.  How can I find this?
