    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Permissions

    • The user must have administrator rights (such as Office 365 Global Administrator or Power BI Service Administrator) or authenticate using a service principal.
    • Delegated permissions are supported.

    When running under service prinicipal authentication, an app must not have any admin-consent required permissions for Power BI set on it in the Azure portal.

     

    So According to your statement, I think you use service principal to authenticate, please remove all admin-consent required permissions in Azure portal.

     

    For reference:

    Admin - Get Activity Events

     

    You may refer to this offical blog to learn how to configure a service principal.

    Best Regards,
    Rico Zhou
