Hey @dfox09 ,

 

you can get this information with the Power BI REST API.

The following method should give you the result you want:

Admin - Groups GetGroupsAsAdmin - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Docs

 

Also check the following article:

Avoiding workspace loops by expanding navigation properties in the GetGroupsAsAdmin API | Microsoft ...

 

If you need any help please let me know.
If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
 
Best regards
Denis

Hi  @dfox09  ,

You can also check this link:
Returns a list of workspaces the user has access to.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/groups/getgroups

 

As long as you get the workspace that can be accessed, it means that your minimum authority is View, and you can access all the reports inside.
