Hi. Usually the 403 for Power Bi Rest API means the token hasn't priviledges for the operation because of a missing permissiong. 403 is the forbidden action. Please check that the Registered App (Service principal) is member of the workspace where the dataset is hosted. Otherwise, the Service Principal can't read the dataset.

In addition, remember that the App registered should have Dataset.ReadWrite.All or Dataset.Read.All permissions at its permission properties in Azure.

I hope that helps,
