Update programatically dataset security roles

Hi Guys,

I discovered that there is still not REST APIs for updating RLS roles for specific datasets. 
But I found that through XMLA endpoint it is possible.

I am using REST Client with Visual Studio Code to get to XMLA Endpointand need to execute command like here:

GET https://powerbi://api.powerbi.com/v2.0/myorg/PowerBIReports({{datasetId}})/DataModelRoles
Authorization: Bearer {{$aadV2Token appOnly}}

 

it is working for usual rest apis like this one using service principal:

GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups
Authorization: Bearer {{bearerToken}}

 

Why this is not working? How to get into this roles using rest client in visual code? Any alternative? 

Best Wishes,
Jacek

Hi There is a confusion here. This is the Power Bi Service forum but the question is showing a API Rest from PowerBi Report Server.

In case you are asking for Report Server, then the Base URL is not that one. The base URL is:

[ Base URL: localhost/reports/api/v2.0 ]

https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/microsoft-rs/PBIRS/2.0#/PowerBIReports/GetPowerBIReportDataModelRole...

On the other hand if you are talking about the cloud and PowerBi Service then there is no request for RLS at all. Here you can find the requests available: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/

I hope that helps,
