I am using the PowerShell PBI admin commands and I am unable to get this to work, has anyone else had any luck with this?
Add-PowerBIWorkspaceUser : Operation returned an invalid status code 'Unauthorized'
I use the command and include
Add-PowerBIWorkspaceUser -Id xxxxxxx -UserPrincipalName 'myuser@fakeaddress.com' -AccessRight Admin
When I run resolve error this is what I get back that seems pertinent
Response : Unauthorized (401):
PowerBIErrorInfo : GroupNotAccessible
Getting the same error, even though I'm the Admin for the company.
Contributor and Viewer, no problem.
how do you resolve the problem, thanks
Hi @OneWithQuestion ,
Are you the admin of this workspace?
Best regards,
Lionel Chen
