Power BI Report Level Permissions
I'm trying to modify dataset and report level permissions(Adding/Removing Reshare permissions). Both of these can be done on the portal(app.powerbi.com) but I would like to automate this process.

I have gone through this REST API reference guide. While there is an API for modifying dataset level permissions(PUT Dataset User in Group), there isn't anything for modifying report level permissions.
Is there any API/way of modifying report level permissions other than doing it manually on Power BI online portal?

Hi, Anonymous
Yes, you can modify report level permissions programmatically using the Power BI REST API. The API provides programmatic access to dashboard resources such as datasets, tables, and rows in Power BI. To perform operations on Power BI resources, you send HTTP requests with a supported method: GET, POST, PUT, or DELETE to an endpoint that targets a resource collection or a specific resource. A Power BI operation requires an Azure Active Directory (AAD) access token.
You can use the API to create, view, and share a custom report in Permissions Management[1]. You can also modify a saved or scheduled custom report.
Here is an example of how to refresh user permissions using the REST API:
POST https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/reports/{reportId}/RefreshUserPermissionsYou can find more information on how to use the Power BI REST API in the official documentation.

Thanks for your reply!
This doesn't seem to be working and this API isn't listed on the Power BI REST API documentation. There is one similar API listed there but that modifies permissions at the workspace level.
POST https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/RefreshUserPermissions
