Power Automate and Power BI Rest API

Power Platform - General

The Power BI rest API allows for the creation of workspaces, with Power Automate supporting HTTP calls for this purpose.
The API documentation refers to workspaces as groups and requires the scope Workspace.ReadWrite.All for service principal profiles.
Additional settings in the Power BI tenant, such as creating a security group and using Azure Key Vault for credentials storage, are recommended.
The final Power Automate flow involves fetching Service Principal credentials, creating the workspace using HTTP actions, and adjusting permissions with JSON parsing.
The flow lacks error handling, workspace name validation, and notification to administrators of new workspaces.
This example demonstrates using Power Automate and the Power BI rest API for administrative tasks, with potential for expanding to other routine tasks.
