Powershell + Who has access

Hi,
I am trying to export all accessrights for our organization for Power BI.

Workspace accessRight I can see I can get with powershell and Get-PowerBIWorkspace -Scope Organization
but how do I get accessrights for

- Datasets

- Reports 

- Apps


I have looked at 
Get-PowerBIDataset -Scope Organization
Get-PowerBIReport
but it looks like the accessrights is not included there.

Hi. I think there might be something at the cmdlets docs that can help you. I'm assuming the methods might be using the Rest API. The Admin API shows that you can "expand" the workspaces by things like datasets. Check the api doc https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/admin/groups-get-groups-as-admin

I hope that helps,

Hello,

 

Did you find a solution? I have the same problem to have the information about datasets, dataflows...

 

Thanks for the information.

 

Kind regards,

I exported the data with this code and have built a report on the output it in Power Bi.

 

param(
# Output path
[string] $BasePath = "C:\_PowerBIService_Exports\"
)

Clear-Host
Write-Host("Loading Apps.....Start")

$filedate = $(Get-Date).toString("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss")
$AppssourcesPath = $BasePath + "Apps\Apps_Output\" + $($filedate.Substring(0,8)) + "_Apps.json"
$URL_APPS = "admin/apps?%24top=5000"

# -------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Start
# -------------------------------------------------------------------------

$Result_Apps = Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url $URL_APPS -Method Get

# Print output to file
$Result_Apps | Out-File $AppssourcesPath

#Convert from Json
$Result_Apps = $Result_Apps | ConvertFrom-Json

$counter = 0
# Loop apps
foreach($rec_apps in $Result_Apps.value)
{
Write-Host $rec_apps.id + $rec_apps.name

$lv_appId = $rec_apps.id
$URL_APP_ACCESS = "admin/apps/$lv_appId/users"
$Result_App_Access = Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url $URL_APP_ACCESS -Method GET

$AppAccessSourcesPath = $BasePath + "Apps\AccessPerApp_Output\" + $($rec_apps.id) + "_Access.json"

#Output - One file per app
$Result_App_Access | Out-File $AppAccessSourcesPath

# Count number of apps
$counter = $counter + 1
}

Write-Host "Loading .....Done. Number of apps: $($counter)"

This code is only for apps right? Could we obtain the same information for datasets and dataflows?

 

Kind regards,

José

I can't find anything related to access on app, dataset and report.
Do you have any examples for that?

Looks like this one can work for apps, I will test that tomorrow.
