Re: App only authentication - oAuth2 token request
Hi Jayendran Sorry for all the questions, your help has been tremendous so far! Am I correct in saying that it's possible for a normal license to create new workspaces via the service principle? (API call) I attempted to create a new workspace via the REST API, making a call to the groups endpoint which got a 403 initially, I tried my luck and added the required scope to the access token call, and magic happened, I could now create a new workspace via the api, and then I assigned this workspace to my PowerBI user so that they can view it as well. I added some of the sample dashboards and reports to this new workspace that was created via the api So moving on from that, I then attempted to get the dashboard with the get dashboard endpoint, and got that "API is not accessible for application" response again. I then had a look at the Embed Token documentation since it's relevant to the App owns data scenario which if I'm not mistaken is what we are dealing with here. I attempted to get an embed token for said dashboard. I once again had to change the scopes defined when getting the oauth access token, but after that I was able to get a proper response which includes the token / tokenId / expirtation and @odata.context Now a seemingly simple question of, how do I actually use this embed token in our web app to display the embedded dashboard? Hope you can help with this ThanksRe: App only authentication - oAuth2 token request
Hi Jayendran Once again coming in with the rock solid response. Now that you mention it that makes a lot of sense, so in essence, we would require a pro account because only pro accounts can create new workspaces? For the time being, I've enabled the trial pro account to test this out. I created a new workspace, when it comes to assigning the service principle as admin to the new workspace, It's not picking it up in the auto complete? Is this feature available on the gui yet? (I remember from a video I watched, that a few months back this wasn't possible from the interface and the SPN had to be added via PowerShell) For reference, I have a group called Power BI Apps, which has been added under tenant settings: In Azure AD when I navigate to this group and click on members, I can see the service principle there When attempting to add this it's not picked up, is this because it's not possible from the gui? RegardsRe: App only authentication - oAuth2 token request
Hi Jayendran Thanks for the prompt response! I noticed your token endpoint is the v1 endpoint and not the /oauth2/v2.0/token one, is there a reason for that? That screenshot helped a lot, I was able to get an access token using the token endpoint you used (not v2), but the same does not work for v2, do you know why this might be? Regardless, after I got the access token I attempted getting a list of reports making a GET request to https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/reports - but I'm getting the following response: The app is part of a group to which I have given access inside of the tenant settings in PowerBI, am I missing something? I'd like to mention again the end result here is for me to get embed urls for reports and dashboards, I think the endpoint I was checking is what I need but I might be wrong. I noticed this section in the documentation regarding embed tokens, but that requires scopes that we did not supply with the token request? Thanks again for the help
