Admin - Get Activity Events question on usage

Hi there,

 

Looking at the article from MS:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/admin/get-activity-events

 

Speficially these two parts of the article

Under Permissions heading

Under Required Scope

nastip_1-1676274529899.png

 

Does this mean that the registered app can only be setup to do one or the either?

 

As in, if I use it to authenticate as a service principal the registered app must not have Tenant.Read.All or Tenant.ReadWrite.All?

 

However, if I want to use the registered app to request an admin access token Tenant.Read.All or Tenant.ReadWrite.All one of these must be present?

 

Thanks,

Hi @nastip,

It mean you need to do both two settings. In fact, the permission of register app should be the prerequisite of rest api usages. You need at least enable one of the scope permission that the document mentions or these api could not able to be used. 

BTW, you can take a look at the official document about 'get started with power bi rest API' usages to know more about them:
