PowerBIClient Forbidden issue
- 8 years ago
You are mixing the directions for user versus app authentication. If you plan on the users not having accounts you don't need to pass in or use a clientID and SecretKey. Here is a code example. You will just need a username, password and clientID to login. If you want to opena report and/or dashboard you also need a workspace guid. Let me know if you have any questions.
var credential = new UserPasswordCredential(Username, Password); // Authenticate using created credentials var authenticationContext = new AuthenticationContext(AuthorityUrl); var authenticationResult = await authenticationContext.AcquireTokenAsync(ResourceUrl, ClientId, credential); if (authenticationResult == null) { return View(new EmbedConfig() { ErrorMessage = "Authentication Failed." }); } var tokenCredentials = new TokenCredentials(authenticationResult.AccessToken, "Bearer"); // Create a Power BI Client object. It will be used to call Power BI APIs. using (var client = new PowerBIClient(new Uri(ApiUrl), tokenCredentials)) { // Get a list of reports. var reports = await client.Reports.GetReportsInGroupAsync(GroupId); // Get the first report in the group. var report = reports.Value.FirstOrDefault();

{
return View(new EmbedConfig()
{
ErrorMessage = "Authentication Failed."
});
}
var tokenCredentials = new TokenCredentials(authenticationResult.AccessToken, "Bearer");
// Create a Power BI Client object. It will be used to call Power BI APIs.
using (var client = new PowerBIClient(new Uri(ApiUrl), tokenCredentials))
{
// Get a list of reports.
var reports = await client.Reports.GetReportsInGroupAsync(GroupId);
// Get the first report in the group.
var report = reports.Value.FirstOrDefault();
Everything works fine when authenticating using user + pass but when I'm trying the auth using client secret I get the "unauthorized" message. Hints?
Thx,
