Hi @ravenmike ,

 

For reference: Considerations and limitations

  • My Workspace isn't supported when using service principal.

As far as I know, we need to create a security group in Azure portal and then add the Service Principal as a member in that group.

Step 3 - Enable the Power BI service admin settings

Enable the Allow service principals to use Power BI APIs switch either for the entire organization or for the specific security group you created in Azure AD.

Step 4 - Add the service principal to your workspace

To enable your Azure AD app to access items such as reports, dashboards and datasets in the Power BI service, add the service principal entity, or the security group that includes your service principal, as a member or admin to your workspace.

 

Best Regards,
Rico Zhou
