Error 'API is not accessible for application' when I run API GetAppUsersAsAdmin on Postman

CorradoPag — Wed, 25 May 2022 16:04:46 GMT

Hi, I'm trying to run the GetAppUsersAsAdmin API on Postman.
I registered an app giving the authorization "Tenant.Read.All", but in the status appears the message: "not granted for ...", in the column "Admin consent required" has the value "No".
I get the application token from "://login.microsoftonline.com/tenant_id/oauth2/v2.0/token" with the user who has the roles: "Administrator Power Platform" and "Administrator of Power BI"
When I launch GET "://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/admin/apps/app_Id/users" from Postman I get the error "API is not accessible for application"
Can someone help me? Thank you.

Hi @CorradoPag ,

According to your description, it seems that the permission and scope are OK (Power BI Admin and has Tenant.Read.All permissions). Could you please tell me how you get the value of the parameter {appId} mentioned there? Can you provide a screenshot of the steps involved? Thank you.

Also, please check the documentation below, I hope it will help you to solve the problem.

Important: Make sure there are no Power BI admin-consent-required permissions set on this application. For more information, see Managing consent to applications and evaluating consent requests.

Hi @Anonymous , thanks for the support. I still have the problem

In Postman I get the relative token

and I use the token in the API PBI call, the appID I get it from the Power BI app URL, this URL is an example.

The two APIs need the admin grant, maybe that's the problem?

Hi @CorradoPag ,

Yes, exactly. From the screenshot you provided, it looks like the required scope (Tenant.Read.All or Tenant.ReadWrite.All) to run that Admin REST API is not being met.

You can try to see if the desired result is returned after giving the appropriate permissions by referring to the documentation below.

I solved it, I enabled the option "Allow service principals to use read-only admin APIs" in the menu Settings -> Admin Portal
