GetUserArtifactAccessAsAdmin API how do you easily get userGraphID

DebbieE — Fri, 22 Oct 2021 13:58:04 GMT

I have been working through this months updates

https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-october-2021-feature-summary/

And got to New API for determining who has access to what Power BI assets

Which takes me to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/rest/api/power-bi/admin/users-get-user-artifact-access-as-admin

and userGraphId

The graph ID of user

But there is no where in the doc that tells you how to get the userGraphID. I have no clue how to find them and what access I need to have to get this?

Im a Power BI Admin so I am find to run the API but I have yet to find anything to help me figure out how to get the userGraphId If anyone could shed any light on that that would be great

Hi @DebbieE,

I suppose this 'userGraphId' may mean the corresponding graph API user id of the current power bi account.
Currently, this rest API seems still in preview version so related operation seems not fully assigned to power bi rest API side. I'd like to suggest you use graph API to get corresponding information and use the result id to test.

In addition, you can also take a look at the following blog if helps:

Oh my goodness I am completely lost with those. I would have thought this would have been much easier cince it was in october release.

I have had a read of this and still have no idea how or where to get userGraphId?

Hi @DebbieE,

I check the document and found the 'scanner admin API' (https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/admin/workspaces/getInfo?getArtifactUsers=true) can be used to list user information which includes the 'graphId' that 'GetUserArtifactAccessAsAdmin API' API required:

I have been told over on the issues Forum that the usergraph ID is the Object ID which you can get by going to Azure AAD - Users and grabbing the object ID from here so this is starting to get confusing with conflicting information

I also can't access your link HTTP ERROR 403

HI @DebbieE,

Which link did you face issue 403? Have you taken a look at the blog about read-only scanner Admin APIs?
