PowerShell cmdlets to run user activity for a PowerBI Servce report

ELIU — Wed, 15 May 2024 20:24:06 GMT

Hi,

I was trying to use PowerShell cmdlets to run certain workspace, user activities, etc. metrics. However, I got 'unauthorized' or 'internalServerError' errors. My service account is listed as Power BI Admin account.

Does this related to Service Principal Account authorization? If my account is not the service principal account, what do I do to get it?

Is there any other solutions without having to have a service principal account?

Thanks

Hi @ELIU

you can create service principlal account bye below steps:

On azure portal open azure Active Directory.

Manage>app registration/enterprise application >new registration

Then cinfigure the application and register it.

Once the application is registered, you can create a service principal associated with it.

After creating the service principal, assign the necessary permissions to it. This could include permissions to access Azure resources, such as Power BI workspaces or data.

Thank you @AnalyticPulse But I guess I have tried to ask the question: why exactly did I get the InternalServerError when trying to run the Powershell script?
