Admin - Groups GetGroupsAsAdmin

Hello,

I use the api : Groups GetGroupsAsAdmin with a Synapse pipeline to retrieve and store data.

However, I can't get the description of the datasets and reports, even though the documentation says that we can get them.

Documentation : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/admin/groups-get-groups-as-admin

Anyone know why?

Hi @Charline_74 ,

You can only get a description of the workspace level using the current API, you can't get a description of the report or the dataset. If you want to get the report and dataset description, you can use the following two REST API.

Reports - Get Report In Group - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn

GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/reports/{reportId}

Datasets - Get Dataset In Group - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn

GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/datasets/{datasetId}

Hi @Charline_74 ,

Which REST API request you are trying to call? Did you expand to dataset level? Please call the request below to get it:

GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/admin/groups?$expand=datasets&$top=100

Hi @Anonymous, 

Yes, I use the API with an expand dataset. I do get information about my dataset, but not the description.
