Getting this "exploration 401 (Unauthorized)" error while applying bookmark.

[Suryakant_99]

Hello Everyone,

I have a power BI report and few bookmarks (called as default bookmark) which created by power bi team on that report.

I'm embedding that report in angular and allowing the user to create a custom bookmark as per their need.

I'm getting bookmark object for both user created bookmark and default bookmark and using that bookmark object I'm calling report method,

report.bookmarksManager.applyState(state)

For all custom bookmark, it's successfully applying the bookmark but for default bookmark I'm getting the error "http/report/....../exploration 401 (Unauthorized)" in browser console.

Anyone have any idea why I'm getting this error and how to fix it.

Hi @Suryakant_99 ,

It sounds like you’re encountering a permissions issue with the default bookmarks created by the Power BI team. However, it is working for personal bookmark. Could you please check the following info?

1. Ensure enable Report.Read.All or Report.ReadWrite.All permissions.

• Go to the Azure portal and navigate to Azure Active Directory > App registrations.
• Select your app and go to API permissions.
• Ensure that you have the necessary permissions like Report.Read.All or Report.ReadWrite.All.

2. If you are using service principle, please mark sure enable the service principal to use API and add it as the admin of workspace (it seems ok since creating personal bookmark work successfully)

3. Create the bookmarks with proper codes
