Power BI Rest API wont accept Application Token
Solution found thanks to SpartaBI !
1. Go to App registration -> New registration
2. Give your app a name and use the default settings
3. Create a secret, and make sure you copy the right value
4. Copy the ClientId & TenantIdNo need to do anything else with the app config.
Just add "MyNewApp" to the AAD security group, wait for a couple of minutes, then try your code.Then for running a Non-Admin API call, the App needs added into the Workspace Permissions you want to read from.
You do not need to add any delegated permissions to the app.
In order to allow a service principal access no non-admin APIs, it must have the same dataset/workspace permissions as any other user. For example- you can add the service principal as a member of a workspace.This is exactly the purpose of the other setting in the Admin Portal.
It defines the service principals whose permissions are being managed by the Power BI Service itself.
Hi Anonymous,
Both the GET Access Token and the API Call for Workspaces work for me.
I'm not sure what you mean by "adding the SP to own the application".
I suggest you'll create a new app. From your opening post, I gather you grant it permissions- which is redundant. To create an app do this:
1. Go to App registration -> New registration
2. Give your app a name and use the default settings
3. Create a secret, and make sure you copy the right value
4. Copy the ClientId & TenantId
No need to do anything else with the app config.
Just add "MyNewApp" to the AAD security group, wait for a couple of minutes, then try your code.
My comment about making the SP an Owner was because your picture of the App Registration that showed your SP account was an Owner on the application, I thought that was something also necessary for this to work. We can move on from that now.
Are you saying that you don't need to grant the Power BI Service API Permissions on this App Registration though?
