Hi!
I am having some problems setting up an azure application to use as the service principal for accessing PowerBI. I have reviewed other similar issues, but have not been able to determine what I am doing wrong. I've set up my azure application, and am able to create an access token using Paw/Postman, but when I try to use the access token to access the PowerBI APIs, I am struck with a 403. My application has been granted admin access to all PowerBI rest endpoints, I am using the client credentials flow and I am using https://domain/application_id/.default as the scope.
What am I doing wrong? 🤔
