Hallo,
i need data from the Graph API in PBI.
I can use the Graph Explorer without any problems and have Permissions
When i use Web or 0Data feed i get a forbidden error:
What can i do??
Hi @Anonymous ,
Since MS Graph uses OAuth 2.0 you'll need to
- Register an app in Azure; and
- Create a custom connector to get it working in Power BI.
Solved: Use Microsoft Graph API as data source - Microsoft Power BI Community
Microsoft does have a GitHub page dedicated to custom connectors with one of the samples being a MS Graph example (MyGraph) and a getting started guide. GitHub - microsoft/DataConnectors: Data Connector SDK and samples for Power Query and Power BI
You can also take a look at Microsoft Graph auth overview | Microsoft Docs for an overview of the authentication portion.
Did my post answer your question(s)? Mark my post as a solution. This will help others find the solution.
