PowerShell - Get Power BI Service Account

[powerbi_jenhen]

Hi,

When using PowerShell to connect to the Power BI API I use "Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount", after authenticating, I can see the "UserName" is returned. How can I assign this to a variable in my code for further use, or is there another way to return the authenticated service account? I want to remove the account being used to create workspaces via the API after I have assigned an AD group to the workspace for admin access.

Thanks.

You got me moving in the right direction. This worked for me:

$pbiServiceAccount = Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount -WarningAction:SilentlyContinue

$userName = $pbiServiceAccount.UserName

Write-Host "Username: $userName"

Is this a .Net namespace? How would I use this in Powershell?

Thanks

Output:  Microsoft.PowerBI.Common.Abstractions.Interfaces.IPowerBIProfile

Assign the output to a variable and then grab the UserName from it.
