Deploy Power BI reports from Azure DevOps

Hi Pker_Tank ,
Thanks for posting in Microsoft Fabric Community.

To automate Power BI Deployment Pipelines using Azure DevOps and a Service Principal, please follow these steps:
1. Ensure the Service Principal has the following Power BI API permissions in Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD):
          -Workspace.ReadWrite.All – Manage all workspaces.
          -Pipeline.ReadWrite.All – Manage deployment pipelines.
          -Tenant.Read.All – Read tenant settings.
          -Dataset.ReadWrite.All – Manage datasets.

After adding these, an admin must grant consent in Azure AD.
2. Enable Service Principal Access in Power BI

1. In the Power BI Admin Portal, go to Tenant Settings.
2. Enable "Allow service principals to use Power BI APIs" and specify the allowed security group.
   Please follow the below link for details:

3. Set Up Azure DevOps Service Connection

1. Go to Azure DevOps -> Project Settings -> Service Connections.
2. Create a new Azure Resource Manager connection using Service Principal (Manual) authentication.
3. Enter the Tenant ID, Client ID, and Client Secret from the registered app in Microsoft Entra ID.
   Please follow the below link for details:
