Take over operation missing for Dataflows

[mikoify]

Hello,

We need to update a dataflow using the PowerBI APIs.

We sign-in to the PowerBI APIs using a service principal (client id / certificate).

For datasets, there is a "take over" operation available (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/datasets/take-over-in-group) that allows us to take over datasets and update them.

This operation is available on dataflows only in the UI, but is not available in the API.

Can you make this take over operation also available for dataflows as for datasets?

Thank you!

Hi @mikoify,

Current it seems like the take owner API only work for dataset and works for dataflow.
If you want to use API to achieve these, you may need to manually trace the backend operations when you interact with UI and manually reproduce these operations based on httprequests.
