Hi v-qiuyu-msft ,

 

The OP was asking about the Admin API: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/admin/groups_adduserasadmin

 

When using an AD Security Group (not mail-enabled), this endpoint doesn't work.

 

For example:

 

A POST to https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/admin/groups/{groupId}/users

 

with the body:

 

{
  "groupUserAccessRight": "Member",
  "displayName": "<Group_Name>",
  "identifier": "<object_id>",
  "principalType": "Group"
}

 

results in the response:

 

{
    "error": {
        "code": "InvalidRequest",
        "message": "Parameter PrincipalType or Identifier is missing or invalid"
    }
}

 

The other API that you linked to (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/groups/addgroupuser) seems to work fine.

 

Why doesn't the Admin API work?

 

Thanks,

 

Ed
