    Hi sasdfasdfsad ,

     

    Unfortunately not, there's only 2 scope Individual and Organizational. Individual scope gives access to entities that current user has. For organizational scope, it has to be admin account to check entities across organization.

    Very good question, I should have included that

    Login-PowerBIServiceAccount

    then when that came back successfully
    Get-PowerBIWorkspace

    which returned the error message

    However,

    I just tried
    Login-PowerBI

    and while it authenticates fine, I still get the same error when I issue the 
    Get-PowerBIWorkspace 
    command.
