Remove security AAD groups from Workspace

mavhernandez — Wed, 05 Oct 2022 16:09:16 GMT

I've been working on simple automation like adding aad users to aad groups and pbi workspaces. I can add users to workspace , even add groups to workspaces but I cannot remove the groups, although I can remove the users from the workspaces. I've been searching for a week now, but no-one came close. Did anyone figure out how to approach this through Powershell? thanks

Hi @mavhernandez ,

As far as I know, we can remove the group or users from workspcae access.

This function works well in my side, I can remove the security gourp scuccessfully.

Or you can try to remove the user by Power BI Rest API.

For reference: Groups - Delete User In Group - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn

This API call can be called by a service principal profile. For more information see: Service principal profiles in Power BI Embedded.

Thanks Rico Zhou,
UI interaction also works for me. For the REST API not really much experience in that department yet, a sample how to execute it in python / powershell would be really great. I've seen some sample on the internet however, there were nothing that removes the AAD security group from the workspace.

Below is a sample of my ADD to workspace approach

and below is the one I am working on with PowerShell but no luck
