Hi @Anonymous ,
Ensure that your authentication token or credentials are valid and configured correctly, that you have all the required permissions, and that the values entered for tenantId, reportId, groupId, and datasetId are correct.
There may be a problem with the body of the request that is now using a connection string that does not match the Power BI design, this cannot be used directly with the new one and a matching one must be used, you can try the following rest api link and re-send it in the report to get the connection string that matches the template as the template to be modified, to modify the connection string that is being used.
