HI jakubpetr ,

CDM is azure based service and power bi service is based on office 365.
The permission you mention is Power Bi admin permission(office 365), it does not work on the Azure side. I think you need Azure AD account with corresponding permissions to operation on CDM.

Regards,

Thanks, Anonymous, but what's the permission you're talking about? Where can I find it? I was able to find my Azure AD account for office 365 in the 365 admin centre, but I have no idea what's the relationship between the 365 AD account and the Azure services I'm trying to integrate Power BI with. I supposed Power BI was linked to my Azure storage account, since it says so in the settings (see here), and I set up the permissions as required by the documentation. How do I add the permissions you speak of to the Azure AD account?
