I am trying to run a Microsoft Fabric notebook using an API and I am using a service principal for authentication. The service principal has been created successfully, but I am not sure about:

  1. Which API permissions need to be added to the service principal.
  2. What scope I should use when requesting an access token to authenticate the API call.
