How to get API Bearer Token for Power BI Admin apis

Anonymous — Tue, 14 Dec 2021 13:46:41 GMT

I am trying to use https://login.microsoft.com/ <tenet id>/oauth2/token to get access token for Power BI Admin apis.

I have set up a application and security group in AD and granted all the read access required. I can paste in a token into api call and it works. I can use the above api and return an access token in Postman. How can do it in Power BI using an Service Principal as documented in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/admin/read-only-apis-service-principal-authentication I get error message "We couldn't authenicate with credentials provided. Please try again. " I am using Anonymous Access , it only offers 2 options

https://login.microsoft.com/ <tenet id>/oauth2

https://login.microsoft.com/ <tenet id>/oauth2/token

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thank you for replying. That is using username and password, I didn't mention that I was trying to use Service Principal set up with application permission and as security group.

Thanks for reply. Again I am trying to use Service Principal to connect not my username and password.
