Power Automate Power BI Scheduled report can not read data from second Data Model (Semantic Model)

My Power BI report has two data sources from two different workspaces. Part 1 (Section 1) of report renders fine, But when I use second semantic model for report from a different workspace. Power Automate fails to render the report.

  • Power BI Report Part 1: renders fine (workspace 1)
  • Power BI Report Part 2: Error (workspace 2, no rendering)

Error does not show up, I don't have access to power bi server logs or Power Automate logs.

The issue was fixed by using right power automate request. passing correct identity values in request.

Correct power automate Request for multiple dataset with RLS:

Correct power automate Request for multiple dataset with RLS:

    },

Flow user is me and I have created both workspaces and I am the admin of the workspaces. They are in premium capacity.

That's nice but not what I mean.  Did you install both apps?

 

Does it work with a single (not composite) semantic model?

Sorry if I am missing on something, I have not used any Power BI App feature,

But both have RLS and access enabled. I am running automate flow using my creds which have all access.

The flow user needs to have registered/installed both Power BI apps.
