Searching across all Workspaces (Admin)

[mgaynor]

Hello,

I have a user asking about access to a report in Power BI service but he's not sure of the owner or workspace.  How can I search for the report?  I am likely not a workspace user but I am a Power BI admin but not o365 admin  

Thanks,

Mike

Hi @mgaynor ,

Also try these APIs:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/admin/datasets-get-datasets-as-admin .

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/admin/datasets-get-dataset-users-as-admin .

Best Regards,

You could use the REST API for this. 
This will get all groups (workspaces) in your org.
Admin - Groups GetGroupsAsAdmin - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn

Then cycle through those using the following for the report itself.
Reports - Get Reports In Group - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn

If it is only in workspaces that user asking the question has access to, you could use this shorter list of workspaces based on the user.  Groups - Get Groups - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn

Either way, you'll need a bit of PowerShell knowledge to do the looping, or cheat like I do and create a few dozen concatenated strings using Excel to create the commands then paste that into a script.
