Correct Product Limitation: metadata extraction issue for semantic models with object-level security

[Robin_McKenzie]

Hi team

I am trying to scan the PowerBi estate for workspace metadata to add to our company data catalog. There is a limitation in the PowerBI Admin API as published here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/governance/metadata-scanning-run#considerations-and-limitat...

This means we cannot extract datasets that are semantic models with object-level security enabled. Despite having the admin rights to do so.

API used: https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/admin/workspaces/scanResult/

Response: schemaRetrievalError "Unsupported request. OLS dataset are not supported."

We really need this product limitation to be addressed in the roadmap so we can perform proper data governance and data management, i.e. data classification (identifying where PII resides, identifying where our CDEs reside), adding data lineage, metadata extraction, etc. We are now restricted in these activities because of this limitation in the API.

Thanks
