Power BI Rest API is throwing Forbidden error on Datasets API through Service Principle

All the Dataset API's are giving forbidden error when hit through Service Principle.  Service Priciple App is having access of Tenant.ReadWrite.All but still its not accessible. Appreciate any lead ...

Hi. Let's see. Is the service principal an admin on the workspace of the datasets? do you have turned on the option to allow service principals to use the Rest API? (setting in admin portal for tenant settings)

If all that is correct and you still have the 403 forbidden, try adding Dataset.ReadWrite.All because I'm not sure that just adding tenant means you can do it all. Also, the tenant permission should be concent by an admin, otherwise it won't allow anything.

I hope that helps,

    Hey,
    Yes, this service principle is allowed for POWER BI REST API's. And it also has Dataset.ReadWrite.All access on the Azure App.
    Yes, my tenant permission is approved by Admin and I am able to use other API's like uploading the report, getting the export of report, creating new groups/workspaces.
    Only thing I am struggling to make it work is the Dataset & Gateway API's.
