Hi @J-Admin - Varun Pillai
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A platform and thanks for posting your question here.

Regarding the error you're experiencing, ErrorCode:(3871) UserErrorDataScanPowerBIBasicMetadataFailure, it's likely due to an issue with the metadata scanning of your Power BI items in the Fabric tenant. This error suggests that there's a problem with the basic metadata of your Power BI items, which is preventing the scanning process from completing successfully.

To troubleshoot this issue,

I recommend reviewing the setup steps again to ensure that everything is correct. Specifically, double-check the following:

• Your Fabric and Microsoft Purview accounts are in the same tenant.
• The Fabric tenant ID is entered correctly during registration.
• The Fabric Metadata model is up to date by enabling metadata scanning.
• The Microsoft Purview Account Network is set to public access in the Azure portal.
• The Fabric tenant is configured to allow public network in the Fabric tenant Admin Portal.
• A security group is created in Microsoft Entra tenant, and the Microsoft Purview account MSI or service principal is a member of the new security group.
• The "Allow service principals to use read-only admin APIs" option is enabled for the new security group in the Fabric Tenant Admin portal.

I hope this information helps you. Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
