How can we tell the difference between Power BI Admin and Tenant accounts using an API?

[PowerBIUser5]

Hello,

In our C# application, we're utilizing the PowerBI REST APIs. We have two PowerBI accounts, one for administration (Admin) and another for tenants (Tenant). We are interested in determining whether there is an API that allows us to distinguish between these two accounts based on the email address or any other identifying parameter. Could you please assist us with this query?

Thank you in advance.

Hi @PowerBIUser5 

To find that out you would need to use the Graph API to get back which roles the user has to see if the user has got the Power BI Administrator role

Thankyou for the solution. We have checked the available api's but coudn't found the suitable api. 
Can you please help us with finding the api which helps us to achieve our requirement.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @PowerBIUser5 

I do not follow how you want to distinguish the different accounts, is this when running it via your c# application?

If so can you not put into a table or the API call add an extra column which would store the accounts name?

Hi @GilbertQ 

We have a login option in our c# application, while login in we want to know whether the user is admin or tenant using their email id through API call. What API we have to use to findout the user type.
