Give Azure App Registration access to PowerBI workspace

Hi All

I just want to test PowerBI API (need to update dataset parameters via API, without having to open it in PBI desktop) so I am following https://www.vahiddm.com/post/call-power-bi-rest-api-with-power-automate  article 

and when I get to the point of giving app registration access to the workspace - it doesnt find any app registrations in "Add people or group" 

Any suggections?

Thanks

Hi @kroman ,

If I understand correctly, it seems that you can't find the created service principal in service and grant it the access to the workspace. Am I right?

Could you please help and confirm the following info?

  • Is the app already registered? You can refer this official documentation to register it.
  • Are the registered app and the account you login in Service in the same tenant? 
  • Could you please provide the screenshots of app and grant access to workspace?

Best Regards

The app is registered correctly, I followed mentioned article
Tenant is the same (we only have one tenant )

Heare are the screenshots
