I have tried this, and once more received the same error message as per screenshot below. My expected result is to run the Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount command without any errors (at which point I'll proceed with the rest of my script).

Hi Anonymous ,

 

Have you enabled the Power BI service admin settings? For an Azure AD app to be able to access the Power BI content and APIs, a Power BI admin needs to enable service principal access in the Power BI admin portal.

Add the security group you created in Azure AD, to the specific security group section in the Developer settings.

 

Embed Power BI content with service principal and an application secret 

 

If this error still persists, please use fiddler to trace details error message about that powershell request, or see if these document are helpful
