Why are some workspaces read-only when using rest api

restapi.pngHi

 

I am trying too duplicate a workspace using this article https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/duplicate-workspaces-using-the-power-bi-rest-apis-a-step-by... - but some are readonly eventhough I have admin rights to the tenant and the workspace.

 

Any ideas why ?

The workspace has one dataset and is connected to azure Analysis services

Per my test, the readonly seems only reflecting the below option, rather than your actually access to the group.

You are right.

 

I am trying to copy reports using the REST API - so I must properly turn it on/off in order to make the copying work.
