Not giving token 403 error

I've looked through all the forums I've found, but I haven't seen a solution.

The problem is that I am using the given code:

 

        $curlPostToken = curl_init();
        $clientId = "******";
        $clientSecretId = "******";
        $tenantId = "******";
        $workspace = "******";
        $ReportId = "******";
        
        curl_setopt_array($curlPostToken, array(
            CURLOPT_URL => "https://login.microsoftonline.com/$tenantId/oauth2/token",            
            CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
            CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
            CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
            CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST => false,
            CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,
            CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
            CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
            CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "POST",
            CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => array(
                'grant_type' => 'client_credentials',
                'scope' => '.default',
                'resource' => 'https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api',
                'tenant_id' => $tenantId,                
                'client_id' => $clientId, // Registered App Application ID                
                'client_secret' => $clientSecretId,                
            )
        ));

        $tokenResponse = curl_exec($curlPostToken);
        $tokenError = curl_error($curlPostToken);
		
        echo $tokenError;
        // decode result, and store the access_token in $embeddedToken variable:
        $tokenResult = json_decode($tokenResponse, true);
        $token = $tokenResult["access_token"];
        $bearerToken = "Bearer "  . ' ' .  $token;
       
        $post_params = array(
            "reports" => Array(                
                Array('id'=>$ReportId),

            ),
            "accessLevel"=>"View",
        );

        $payload = json_encode($post_params);        
        
		$headers = array(
		"Content-Type: application/json",
		"Authorization: Bearer $access_token"
		);

		$url = "https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/$workspace/reports/$ReportId/GenerateToken";

		$ch2 = curl_init( $url );
		curl_setopt( $ch2, CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT, true);
		curl_setopt( $ch2, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $payload);
		curl_setopt( $ch2, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers );
		curl_setopt( $ch2, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
		curl_setopt( $ch2, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, true);
		$response = curl_exec( $ch2 );
        
		if (curl_errno($ch2)) {
			$error_msg = curl_error($ch2);
		}
		echo $response;
		curl_close($ch2);

		if (isset($error_msg)) {
			echo $error_msg;
		}

 

 

Added application as (service principal).
Issued permissions.
Added a service principal to Power Bi Workspace Access.

But no matter what I do, no matter how I twist the settings, I always get an error: The requested URL returned error: 403
I'm already crazy about this problem.
Help me 😞
