API to refresh dataset

Hello

 

We are using APIs successfully with our Admin account. We also want to use APIs with PRO user, but when trying to retrieve Client ID/Application ID, we get below error when registering app.

 

"You aren't authorized to register applications. It's possible your tenant administrator has authorized only admin users to register applications. Please contact your administrator."

Could you please help to understand, if client/application IDs can be retrieved only by Admins and not by PRO users. 

 

Thanks

Vignesh

You don't always need to create your own application. You can use Power Automate's built in connector to refresh datasets  (for example).
