Hello,
Everything is on the title.
I am calling PBI Embedded API from web application deployed on Azure App Services and I cannot retrieve Description field on a report. I've tested it on both APIs getreports and getreport.
Is there a mismatch between API and its documentation that referring to this field ?
https://docs.microsoft.com/fr-fr/rest/api/power-bi/reports/get-reports
All permissions seem to be provided as written in the note : "A Power BI report. Below is a list of properties that may be returned for a report. Only a subset of the properties will be returned depending on the API called, the caller permissions and the availability of the data in the Power BI database."
Any help appreciated
Thanks
Adrien
I am facing the same issue. I tried retrieving the description from a report I own using my regular account. I also tried as a tenant admin. The field is not even returned as part of the result.
Thanks,
Adolfo
Hello Yalan,
Could you be more precised on which permissions I should change ?
For a test, I've already set "admin" permission to service principal that is acessing API, I don't see other user or option ?
Thank you.
Regards
Adrien
Hi, @Anonymous ;
I think you could check the credentials and whether you have sufficient permissions.
