Searching across all Workspaces (Admin)
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

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 LearnIf 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.

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.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 .
