Hello,
I want to create an admin portal on PowerBI desktop of the whole PowerBI enviroment in our enterprise.
But I am stuck with the refresh token as I get a refresh token only 15 mins, how can I have a fixed token to access or to automatically refresh my access token ?

Solved: Refresh token api call - Microsoft Power BI Community
I stumbled over a similar problem as you last year. I solved my api connection by buidling a custom data connector.

With the connector you have a lot of possibilitys for authentication handling:
see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/handlingauthentication
The custom Connector can be attached to the data gatway from there the api calls are made.
