i'm using this URL https://login.windows.net/(the Tenant ID of the App that i made in Azure AD)/oauth2/token to create a Token for PowerBI API. my postman looks like this:

but when i use this Access token to do some operations like getting a list of reports in a Dataset i get 401 Unauthorized:

exactly which steps i have taken so far can be seen in this Question. I also haven't created a Service Principal, because i'm using this as embedded in organisation. Am i missing a step?

    Hi @Bouzari, Mostafa

    Thank you for asking this question on the **Microsoft Q&A Platform. **

    I think you must use an App Registration to connect via API to PowerBI

    Please review this document Register an Azure AD application to use with Power BI

    Hope this helps,
