Power BI Token Generation

Hi,

 

I generated a authorization token via postman. 

Screen Shot 2023-08-21 at 1.29.15 pm.png

Then I used this token while calling the groups Rest API: (https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups)

Screen Shot 2023-08-21 at 1.29.50 pm.png


But the https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups Rest API call just returns one row. However there are dozens of groups/workspaces in the Power BI environment. What may be the cause of the issue?

Thanks

Hi @innocence84 ,

You can refer the following links to grant the service principal access to the workspaces:

By Powershell:

Add-PowerBIWorkspaceUser (MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Workspaces) | Microsoft Learn

Add-PowerBIWorkspaceUser -Scope Organization -Id 23FCBDBD-A979-45D8-B1C8-6D21E0F4BE50 -UserEmailAddress john@contoso.com -AccessRight Admin

Grant the access in Power BI Service:

Enable workspace access

Hi @innocence84 ,

thanks,

I received the client_id and client_secret from Azure Active directory app registration.

You asked: "Could you please tell me whether the account info used in the below screenshot be granted to all workspaces?"
How can I grant the Azure Active Directory app registration for all workspaces?

Hi again,

I checked Azure portal and Power BI admin portal. I could not find any settings that corresponds an app registration and a Power BI workspace.
Is there any configurating for granting access to a Power BI workspace for the given Azure Active Directory app registration?  How should we model analysis like license consumption?
