Azure AD Graph Refresh

[Evogelpohl]

Created a PowerBI Desktop solution that gets data from Azure AD via the Graph API.  Worked flawlessly on the desktop.

Here's the first line of the query:

Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://graph.windows.net/domain.com/users?api-version=1.5")

Posted to PowerBI.com - won't refresh.  Says source is not supported.

What's wrong with a simple REST query?  Why doesn't PowerBI support this call?  Doing something wrong?

Yeah :(.

When you run this inside Power Query or PBI Desktop, you either have to enable "Fast Combine" or you need to set privacy levels for the two sources. Currently, all sources inside refresh are marked as "Private" with no ability to change this configuration or set "Fast Combine". This prevents the query from working correctly. This was picked as a default to maximize security without asking the user hard-to-explain questions, but it's obviously quite limiting in the kinds of queries that can be performed -- so we need to figure out how best to enable this scenario for refresh.

It won't refresh,at least with use of function as functions are not supported for refresh

Not sure if will refresh as is not supported but you can try without the function - only one email to see if APIs will refresh

I think yes "from web"= Web.Contents
