Hi, @AsifLumel 

Check for any API limits or quotas that may have been exceeded. This can sometimes lead to a 403 error. Double-check the authorization headers in your API requests to make sure there are no typos or formatting issues. You can check the following link:

Troubleshoot Power BI REST APIs - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Also you need to check your ability to manage permissions for individual datasets.

You can refer to the following post:

Hi @AsifLumel 

Not sure this will make a difference, but in Power BI Admin portal, there is this option. You will need to add security groups or activate for whole company

HI @Joe_Barry 

   Thank you for your response. Currently, the "Service Principals Can Use Fabric API" setting is enabled in the Power BI admin portal for the entire organization. However, we are still encountering the error.
