I have registered an app (service principal) with App.Read.All, Report.Read.All and Workspace.Read.All permissions. The app has member access to the four workspaces in need.
When I call:
GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/reports
It works successfully. All reports are acquired for each workspace.
When I call:
GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/reports/{reportId}/pages
I get 403 - API is not accessible for application.
When I call:
GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/reports/{reportId}/pages
I get the page metadata for some reports and for others I get 401 (DENY) error.
When I test the above api call at the Power BI REST APIs website with the failed report with my account it works. Mind you I only have view access to the reports.
What am I missing??? I don't understand why ...groups/{groupId}/reports/{reportId}/pages works for some reports and not others.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Resolved! Turns out that some of the reports had their datasource on another workspace. Once we granted access to those workspaces to the service principal account, the API calls ran successfully.
