- We need this feature
- Hi Mike, hi Ali, you are right, there is no method rename so far. I'm also unhappy with lot of missing features in the API. But for Datasets and Dataflows there are update parameter Methods, can you check them? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/datasets/updateparameters https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/dataflows/updatedataflow The docu sais, updating of the parameter "Name" should be possible. For Reports I didn't found a rename capability. Therefore you could update the content, which is missing for the other object tpyes.
So do we
A very needed feature. Have a customer who needs to enforce a naming convention on reports created through their embedded instance. Seems like an easy enough ask, but the only way we can currently do it is following the steps below. Ideally, it would be great if Workspace Admins could set a naming convention for all new reports in that workspace or if we can pass a naming convention through the create report feature in the embedded instance itself, but even having one API to rename instead of needing to clone and delete would help a lot.
The only way to enforce a naming standard would be to run a process using the Power BI REST APIs that can do the following:
- Identify the bad reports
- Clone them with a corrected name
- Delete the original report with the faulty name
I see that the post has been open for more than 3 years... Is there an API to rename dataset and Report in PowerBI?? If yes could you please share the documentation for it.... From the PowerBI web app am able to rename a dataset.. so it would be great if we have the same feature as an api as well...
any update for this feature?

Finally after much searching myself, I'm glad to report that this is now supported.
