Unauthorized access when trying to access PowerBI API with ClientCredentials

I am getting the token using the below code:

 

string signedInUserID = ClaimsPrincipal.Current.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier).Value;
string tenantID = ClaimsPrincipal.Current.FindFirst("http://schemas.microsoft.com/identity/claims/tenantid").Value;

ClientCredential clientcred = new ClientCredential(clientId, appKey);

AuthenticationContext authenticationContext = new AuthenticationContext(aadInstance + tenantID, new ADALTokenCache(signedInUserID));
AuthenticationResult authenticationResult = null;

authenticationResult = await authenticationContext.AcquireTokenAsync(ResourceURL, clientcred).ConfigureAwait(false);

 

 

I get a valid token but when I try to call the rest API using https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api to refresh the dataset I get Unauthorized access. I call this from a Azure web app and it has permissions to Power BI.

Hi @visuresh ,

 

403 or 401? 

Make sure that the app that you registered with AAD has the read-write all datasets permission. 

You could also check this document:
