Powershell script to connect to Power BI but without using a Service Principal
I would like to use a PowerShell script for Azure Devops but I would like to be able to connect to my personal account and not to a Service Principal.
Is this possible?
Hi Anonymous ,
It’s very straightforward and quick to prototype solutions that make Power BI Rest API calls. Just log in to Power BI by using the Login-PowerBI cmdlet. It supports user accounts, service principals, and application credentials (key or certificate). Then fire away by using one of the pre-built cmdlets or use the Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod cmdlet.
