Import API for Templates with Parameters

[aboersch]

Create an endpoint that allows you to import a PowerBI Template (.pbit) while specifying templates at the same time. E.g. I would like to publish a Report into a users account. The user has their own (filtered) Azure SQL View with a corresponding user and I can specify this view as a parameter. Since I can ecify the connection string using the API if I could specify the view during import I would be done.

I need this yesterday. How are we going to automate the deployment of Power BI without this? We want to have a system where we add our PBIT to source control and CI/CD picks up the PBIT and deploys it to a Workspace.

I need this last year, how is this not upvoted more?

This is a must for any serious company using PowerBI to be able to automate deployment, especially when using Import storage mode and refresh. We want to use PBIT files that are checked into git repo to automate deployment, PBIX is not suited for this purpose.
