Settings for workspace and and report / dashboards
To gets the settings for workspace and report / dashboards, follow the instructions in Microsoft documentation.
Advanced
If you have any problem with the previous step, use this nuget package in the PowerShell console.
Start the PowerShell console as an Administrator and run the following commands. (Microsoft docs)
- Start PowerShell as an Admin.
- Install-Module -Name MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt
- Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount.
- Get-PowerBIWorkspace
- Get-PowerBIworkspace -name "{report_name}" | Get-PowerBIReport
- Get-PowerBIReport -Id 5364xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxf1e7df89
- Get access token: Get-PowerBIAccessToken -AsString
Important
In the code downloaded from the Power BI integration by Resco, you can find the method where we try to retrieve the access token using settings for OAuth OAuth_Settings.
The settings are stored in the associated name in the secure storage. If any settings exist for the passed name, we will use them, the OAuth_Settings are ignored.
In case you change those settings and want to apply these changes, you should delete all data in the setup, or pass a different name for the new settings.
