Hi All,
I have been trying to explore Power BI REST APIs recently.
I want to call the Power BI REST APIs to gather organizational Power BI usage and other metrics.
Some of the blogs and YouTube videos I have come across, all show the following steps -
Step-1: Register an app in Azure AD
Step-2: Grant API Permission to the app
Step-3: Use Postman to generate a refreshable acces token
On Step-3, I see everyone is passing their username/password to make the call to REST API and to fetch the token.
That username/passoword lives inside the .pbix file and that's not the security best practice.
Do you have any suggestion or point me to a direction where I don't store the username/passowrd in the .pbix file.
Is there a better approach to achive this?
Thank You!
