User account access to the dashboard via API

Good afternoon! We have a very important and urgent task. As you all know, you can give access to a specific Power BI dashboard in the Report Server version to a specific user account or Active Dir...

    Yay, it worked. Used just the API I mentioned above (PUT request) and python script. Thanks for the help!

Hi ReyCarter_777, 

 

I'm not seeing anything in the API to grant a role to a report. Maybe the Update Catalog Item endpoint will do it?

    This looks like it will replace all users, not just add a user. but give it a go and see what happens.

      It seems like this would also be suitable if I could completely replace the accesses. I made a PUT request in python, but for some reason I'm getting a 500 error. There are no messages in the logs, and I'm not sure what's wrong.

        Hi ReyCarter_777, 

         

        I just tried in my environment, and this API doesn't seem to exist, or it's not enabled by default. I can't access it at all from my report server.
