Power BI Rest API - Remove user access to Report

Hello!

Is it possible to remove access to a Power BI Report for a particular user with Power BI Rest API?
As I found out from the documentation there is an API call to remove a user from a workspace as a whole.
But I need an API call that will be equivalent to UI actions: Report -> Manage Permissions -> Direct access (People and groups with access) -> Remove access.

 

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi @IhorK ,

 

As far as I know, currently Power BI doesn't support you to add permission or remove permission for users to specitific report by Rest API. You need to share or remove permission manually in Power BI Service as the step you mentioned above.

You may refer to this blog which contains all Rests API for Power BI Report.

Currently the best workaround by Rest API is to add/remove your end user in your workspace and then they could see or not see the report.

For reference: Groups - Add Group User

Hi @Anonymous ,

I have a similar requirement but want to share the workspace report/dashboard across tenants. 
Is it possible to share access to the workspace across tenants using API?
