I'm trying to do an ExportToFile on a report I have displayed in my app using the Power BI Embedded API. I am using the same code to get token credentials and generate a Power BI Embedded API client object that is working when I display my report, but when I try to call Clent.Reports.ExportToFIleInGroupsAsync, it throws a "Forbidden" exception.
var exportRequest = new ExportReportRequest
{
Format = format,
PowerBIReportConfiguration = powerBIReportExportConfiguration
};
// Get token credentials for user
var getCredentialsResult = await GetTokenCredentials();
if (!getCredentialsResult)
{
// The error message set in GetTokenCredentials
return null;
}
var Client = new PowerBIClient(new Uri(ApiUrl), m_tokenCredentials);
var export = await Client.Reports.ExportToFileInGroupAsync(groupId, reportId, exportRequest);
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

@erosal84 Any chance you are using something like RLS on that report?
Nope, no RLS on the report. To clarify, displaying the report is working fine. It's a subsequent call to ExportToFile that is generating the error.
