Getting forbidden error when trying to create a workspace using the dotnet core SDK

aaronfdsouza — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 23:03:41 GMT

I am using the dotnet core SDK with a service principal and I need to create a workspace.

My code looks like this

var credentials = await Token.GetTokenCredentials(clientId, clientSecret, tenantId); using (PowerBIClient client = new PowerBIClient(credentials)) { GroupCreationRequest request = new GroupCreationRequest { Name = "MyNewWorkspace" }; await client.Groups.CreateGroupAsync(request); }

The service principal corresponding to the client has the following API permissions

Capacity.Read.All
Capacity.ReadWrite.All
Workspace.Read.All
Workspace.ReadWrite.All
Is there some admin level setting that I need to be aware of?

Hi @aaronfdsouza ,

As far as I know, we can use API call by a service principal profile to create a new workspace in Power BI Service. For more information see: Service principal profiles in Power BI Embedded.

For more details about this REST API.

I found that my administrator has restricted access.
