Sharing a report through API

[prabhuduttadas]

We are publishing PowerBI reports from test workspace to production workspace through Power BI API in premium instance. We would however like to share these reports to certain AD groups - how can we do that programmatically?

We don’t want to have manual steps in Production Workspace. The reports already contain RLS embedded in them. The option of having viewer roles doesn’t quite work in this case as all reports will be visible to all the viewers. Each report is to be shared with a specific AD Group.

Hi @prabhuduttadas ,

Based on my research, there is no option about sharing report through API in power bi currently. You can use REST API to get the lists of users who had been shared a report. Please refer this issue: PowerBI REST API - Get Users who had been shared a Report 

Perhaps you can submit the requirement to ideas and add your comments there to help us improve power bi and make this feature coming sooner: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas

About ways to share reports, please refer the microsoft document hopes to help you:

1. Share Power BI dashboards and reports with coworkers and others
2. Ways to share your work in Power BI

I am not aware of that functionality in the API currently.
