I am following the below link:https://datasavvy.me/2020/07/09/refreshing-a-power-bi-dataset-in-azure-data-factory/ and/or https://www.nickyvv.com/2020/06/refresh-a-power-bi-dataset-with-powershell-and-a-service-principal.h... to refresh powerbi dataset via an app.
The app is provided admin access on the workspace and is added within an DL that is added in admin tenant settings. But still I am getting the below error :
Invoking Web Activity failed with HttpStatusCode - '403 : Forbidden', message - ''
Can someone help me identify was there any recent change in app configurations or access aspects?
Hi @NandanHegde ,
