PowerBI PowerShell Login Issues: Authentication with username and password not supported ...

Hello,

I'm trying to login to my Power BI Service through with ansible. My Linux Ansible VM has "pwsh" installed and all the necessary Power BI modules:

MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Admin
MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Capacities
MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Data
MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Profile
MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Reports
MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Workspaces

I've already created a script that manages to login to PowerBI and update a report .pbix file into my workspace. This script works perfectly fine if I login to Power BI through my machine. When I try to execute the login command:

 

Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount -Credential $credential

 

I receive the following error:

One or more errors occurred. (User and password authentication is not supported in .NET Core or with DeviceCode authentication.)

 

How can I solve this? 

 

Thank you very much.

Hi @devops_user 

 

As far as I am aware it will not work on a Linux PC, you need to have it running on a Windows PC, which you have said works on your PC
