Unable to patch reportgroup name with a service principal account

Hi,

 

I'm not able to patch the name of a report group using:

Admin - Groups UpdateGroupAsAdmin - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn

 

I'm using a service principal. With this service principal I can create a report group but I'm not able to update id.

I get a 401.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

René

Hi @rene_titulaer ,

It seems that the problem is caused by the insufficient permission. Since you are using service principal, please check if it has been granted the proper permission.

Enable the Power BI service admin settings

Allow service principals to use Power BI APIsAllow service principals to use Power BI APIs

Add the service principal to the workspaceAdd the service principal to the workspace
