    Hi PANDAmonium 

     

    The product group fixed the 'Try it' button for the Power BI REST API, which makes debugging easier to get started, please try it.

It looks like I can update the refresh schedule which requires the same scope and uses PATCH. But changing the name or properties still doesn't work giving the same error. Maybe the dataflow renaming issue in Power BI Service is related.

 

So I guess that just leaves the question, is anyone else able to update the dataflow properties using the REST API? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/dataflows/update-dataflow

      It's working now using the Try It feature in the Power BI Rest API docs and in Power BI Service. However when testing it in Postman, I'm still getting a "You do not have permissions to manage this dataflow" error. Tested updating the refresh schedule again which should require the same permissions and that works. 

       

      Either way, I'm able to do what I need to now at least which is changing the dataflow name, so thank you!
