Post ProdigyPowerBI API Rest Service Principal Authentication
Good day,
I have downloaded the below template from the forum: Connect with Power BI to the Power BI REST API with a Service Principal – PBI Guy (pbi-guy.com)
I can manually conmnnect to the PBI Api inserted a Bearer Token, however inserting my registered app, secret, tenent id with Anonymous selected i keep getting access denied. My DevOps are managing the Azure configurations and myself the powerbi but unfortuntely we not winning. I get as far as setting privacy levels to none, enabled the API configuration on PBI and app has admin consent but now running out of ideas
when i try to navigate to the login with tenantid
Please Help

Hi icassiem ,
1.Ensure that your Service Principal has been granted the necessary permissions within the Azure portal and that it has been added as a workspace Member or Admin in Power BI.
2. Double-check that the Service Principal has been granted the correct API permissions in Azure. Specifically, look for Power BI Service permissions like Dataset.Read.All, Dashboard.Read.All, etc., depending on your use case.
3. When connecting to the Power BI REST API, ensure that you're using the correct authentication details. This includes the Application (client) ID, Directory (tenant) ID, and the client secret.
