Hi Soldous,

 

I've managed to get this working for me.

 

According to this Enable service principal authentication for read-only admin APIs (preview) 

The app registration should't have any permissions set requering admin conset.

I followed a couple online tutorials so I ended up with a app registration that had all the permission set on all the Power BI Scopes.

Once I removed the permissions it just worked as expected.

 

To get the access token I use the tenant specific endpoint as described in my previous answer. But I don't think that will matter.

 

Hope this will work for you to.
