Hello Community,
I need guidance with the following as I've tried multiple avenues and I keep hitting a brick wall.
IT helpdesk within my organiastion have created an Azure AD App with the purposes of me using rest APIs. I have added the necessary permissions to the App for the end points I've tried to access. Added the service principal account to the workspace I'm testing the app through.
I am using postman to test the rest APIs, I'm able to generate an auth token but I am getting 403 error when trying to access the REST APis.
Please help!
use jwt.io to check the scope of your token. Most likely the required permissions are not in the token.
Thank you for your response.
I've used 0jwt.io as advised. After checking documentation on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/access-token-claims-reference. it appears there was no line for 'scp' which I understand to be the scope you're referring to.
I've double checked with helpdesk on which permissions the app currently has:
User.Read
Dashboard.Read.All
Dataset.Read.All
Report.Read.All
Report.ReadWrite.All
Tenant.Read.All
Workspace.Read.All
The rest api I'm trying to access is https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/[MyworkspacEnteredHere]
and needs Report.ReadWrite.All or Report.Read.All
Is this enough information to advise where the fault lies?
The app registration seems to have been done incorrectly. You need to see the requested permissions in the "scp" section. Ask them to try again.
