The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

Hi, everyone:

I have a powerbi question about Azure devops CI CD, I hope you can help solve it.
Now when I am making a CD, an error is reported when I push the file to powerbi, the error displays: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized .

The debug information displays: "# # [error] Exception calling" AcquireToken "with" 3 "argument (s):" AADSTS7000218: The request body must contain the following parameter: 'client_assertion' or 'client_secret'. "
How should we deal with this situation?

It has been stagnant for a long time. Thank you

Hi  @Anonymous ,

You can try the following:

1. If the clientId is from a "Server-side Web app", then specify an extra option -clientsercet. Otherwise register a "Native app" and use the clientid alone.

See Register with the Power BI App Registration Tool

2. You need to enable the addition setting called Default Client Type to Yes .

Hi yangliu,

As shown in the figure below, we can't access the AAD permission management page and configure the relevant permissions. Is it because we can't solve the problem mentioned above? 

Are there any other solutions?

Without relevant authority, can't we solve this problem?
Whether admin permission is required.
