Can't add Group using the AddUserAsAdmin API

[ed-freeman]

When using an AD Security Group (not mail-enabled), this admin endpoint doesn't work.

For example:

A POST to https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/admin/groups/{groupId}/users

with the body:

{
  "groupUserAccessRight": "Member",
  "displayName": "<Group_Name>",
  "identifier": "<object_id>",
  "principalType": "Group"
}

results in the response:

{
    "error": {
        "code": "InvalidRequest",
        "message": "Parameter PrincipalType or Identifier is missing or invalid"
    }
}

I'm pretty sure the body of my request is correct, because when I get the list of users for the group, the response for the group is exactly the same as my request body above.

Other things to note:

• The other non-admin API (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/groups/addgroupuser) seems to work fine with exactly the same request body.
• It works fine doing it manually through the UI

Why doesn't the Admin API work?

Thanks,

Ed

@ed-freeman ,

It seems that this api should be used in the new workspace. Which workspace are you using?
