Power BI REST API - UserNotLicensed

[Anonymous]

Hi!

I'm trying to refresh dataset using REST API (using this example: https://github.com/Azure-Samples/powerbi-powershell/blob/master/manageRefresh.ps1) 

Howere I've got an error:
$uri = "https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/$groupsPath/datasets/$datasetID/refreshes"
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Headers $authHeader -Method POST -Verbose

Invoke-RestMethod : {"error":{"code":"UserNotLicensed","message":"User is not licensed for Power BI"}}

The user used for operation has trial Pro license. Is it limitations of Trial ?

Hi @Anonymous,

There isn't such a limitation to Pro Trail account. I would suggest you check these things below.

1. Use exactly the same user who can log in Power BI. 

2. Register your app in the same tenant with Power BI, which couldn't be like this: onmicrosoft.com and yourdomain.com.

3. Did you grant the permission in the Azure? You need to click the "Grant Permission" button explicitly.

4. The user should have the Edit permission of the App workspace.

Best Regards,

Dale

Hi @v-jiascu-msft, 

actually i've solved this problem. Had to use Python to use REST API, powershell example don't work for me.
