Access to Admin API as Non Power BI Administrator

Let's say I do not have the Power BI Administrator role. But I am the admin of a few workspaces. Is there a way for me to be granted read access to the Admin REST API for Power BI of my workspaces. I know I could use the other APIs available but the Admin option is more robust. Is it possible?

    Hi

    No. Below is the basic permission that you need to access the Admin APIs.

    Permissions

    • The user must have administrator rights (such as Office 365 Global Administrator or Power BI Service Administrator) or authenticate using a service principal.
    • Delegated permissions are supported.

    Thanks
