Embedded for Customer: Cannot Save Report

BernardWilliam — Fri, 05 Mar 2021 17:57:40 GMT

I have a some Power BI reports embedded in a ASP.Net Core App. It is using an Azure service principal to authenticate with the Power BI service. I display the report in edit mode, but once I click on Save. I get the following message

If I login to the powerbi.com I can save the report without any problem. I wonder if the issue could be with app permissions on Azure. It has the following permissions

The Read.All is long standing, but the ReadWriteAll is new. "Save As" functionality is working.

Any help/suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

Bernard

Thank you the thread you refered to did indeed help to solve my problem. The code snippet in the thread is out of date as far as I can tell. The fix for my issue was to pass true for the AllowEdit parameter of the GenerateTokenRequestV2Report() method.

var reports = reportIds.Select(reportId => new GenerateTokenRequestV2Report(reportId, true)).ToList();

Thank you for your help.
