Hi @narmada ,

 

Did @jennratten 's reply help you?

If it helps, kindly Accept it as the solution. More people will benefit from it.

 

The permission on this is as follows

  • The user must have administrator rights (such as Office 365 Global Administrator or Power BI Service Administrator) or authenticate using a service principal.
  • Delegated permissions are supported.

And the limilation is Maximum 200 requests per hour.

 

Best Regards,

Stephen Tao

Thank you for the reply.

 

I specified appId as - cf6bac1b-c760-473b-96c1-6ad7a1d056ed. It still gives 404 error.

Calling API as - 

https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/admin/apps/cf6bac1b-c760-473b-96c1-6ad7a1d056ed/users

Thanks Jennratten for the reply.

 

The account has necessary permissions because below API call is working for the account I am using :-

https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/admin/activityevents?startDateTime='2022-01-03T00:00:00'&endDateT...

 

How to check, I am using the correct appID ?

https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/admin/apps/cf6bac1b-c760-473b-96c1-6ad7a1d056ed/users

You are very welcome.  🙂  In the Power BI Service, open up the app you are wanting to query, then in the address bar, copy the portion of the URL that appears between apps/ and /reports, as shown by the red box in the snip below.  When I copy this text, go to the web page below, click try-it, paste the text into the appId parameter field and click run, I get a response code 200 and can see the users in the json response body.

Have you verified that the app ID you are using is correct?  Do you have the required permissions and scopes to access this?

 

  • The user must have administrator rights (such as Office 365 Global Administrator or Power BI Service Administrator) or authenticate using a service principal.
  • Delegated permissions are supported.

You should replace {appId} with the actual appId you are trying to query, like the example below.  The 404 error means the resource being queried cannot be found.

 

GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/admin/apps/f089354e-8366-4e18-aea3-4cb4a3a50b48/users
