Hi,
I'm trying to use the PowerBI Scanner API, according to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmTklTT73gE
So, I'm able to call "GET-PowerBIWorkspace" and I'm getting workspaces where I have access as a response.
If I try to use the Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod with the Workspace ID as Body, I recieve a Not Authorized Response, which doesn't make sense since I have all needed permissions. Any Ideas?
Used Code:
Login-PowerBIServiceAccount -ServicePrincipal -Credential (Get-Credential) -Tenant ******
GET-PowerBIWorkspace
$body = 
'{
    "workspaces": [
    "****"
    ]
}'
$url = "https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/admin/workspaces/getInfo"
Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url $url -Method Post -Body $body | ConvertFrom-JsonResult:
Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod : Mindestens ein Fehler ist aufgetreten.
In Zeile:16 Zeichen:1
+ Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url $url -Method Post -Body $body | Convert ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : WriteError: (Microsoft.Power...werBIRestMethod:InvokePowerBIRestMethod) [Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod], AggregateException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Mindestens ein Fehler ist aufgetreten.,Microsoft.PowerBI.Commands.Profile.InvokePowerBIRestMethod
Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod : Encountered errors when invoking the command: {
"code": "PowerBINotAuthorizedException",
"pbi.error": {
"code": "PowerBINotAuthorizedException",
"parameters": {},
"details": [],
"exceptionCulprit": 1
}
}
good - fix that issue and then you can continue with the implementation.
 
					
				
		
Hi thanks, but I didn't find a way to use the Rest Call in the sanbox. Do you know how I can try that?
I can't login with my Service-Principal on that, only with my personal account and that one doesn't have enough rights.
does it work in the REST API sandbox?
