Hi,
I'm trying to access the PowerBI dataset model through powershell using OleDbConnection with the following code.
It is throwing an access issue error message but the same code was worked fine a few months back.
Error :
Exception calling "Fill" with "1" argument(s): "User '<pii>72f988bf-86f1-41af-91ab-2d7cd011db47-xxxxxx</pii>' needs to be an administrator to read the
metadata of the database 'f0fb13c2-ebd3-4135-ae5d-xxxxx'."
Please help me if you encountered the similar issues and have any solutions for it, it will be a great help.
Note: Given the owner access to the workspace for the above user
Hi @kprabha2020 ,
Are your the Power BI administrator?
What is Power BI administration
Best regards,
Lionel Chen
