Disabling multi factor authentication for power bi
Hi piper ,
The request requires the user to do multi-factor authentication and then send this new token back to Web API 1 and complete the on-behalf-of flow. MFA was enabled by triggering a rule if some action (e.g. sudden location change) was treated as "risky activity". For an account there is a "moved to a new location" flag that can get set, automatically triggering the need for MFA, even if it was initially off.
Please check the conditional access locations in Azure AD and check if your AAD admin can clear the flag. Disable MFA for the account or configure conditional access to give access to "Global Admin" role.
Please find additional info in the following articles:

Thanks v-deddai1-msft .
I have followed steps outlined here :https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/admin/security-and-compliance/set-up-multi-factor-authentication?view=o365-worldwide#manage-security-defaults
And, have disabled default security measures. I understand this is bit risky as per security, but it has unblocked me for now.
I was able to get access token for powerbi rest api.
Once POC completes, I will go through shared links in detail, to setup conditional access.
