Hi @ginoroy ,

 

How did you connect to the Rest API, PowerShell or web connector?

Please show your M code in 'Edit Query' or the shell code.

Please refer to the code.

Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount

$Workspace = Get-PowerBIWorkspace -All

ForEach($Workspace in $Workspace)
{
    $Url = 'https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/'+ $Workspace.Id + '/datasets'
    Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url $Url -Method Get
 }

Disconnect-PowerBIServiceAccount

Hi @v-lionel-msft ,

 

I am also trying to achieve the same automation, however, this requires a user interaction to login. MFA is enabled for our tenant. and service principal with client id and client secret are unable to return Admin API. Is there a way around this? To be able to automate the process? Many Thanks
