Power Automate – Create the Power BI Workspace

Power Platform - General

The article details the process of setting up a service principal, securely storing the details in Azure Key Vault, and using Power Automate to fetch them securely.
The flow involves creating a Power BI workspace automatically, utilizing the preparation steps taken earlier.
The flow starts with a manual trigger to input the Workspace Name and then calls a child flow to fetch tenantid, clientid, and secret.
An HTTP action is used to create the Power BI Workspace, with the URI, body, and authentication details specified in separate parts.
After creating the workspace, the article explains the need to add a workspace admin using another HTTP call.
The workspace ID, necessary for adding an admin, is retrieved from the output of the HTTP call that created the workspace.
The flow also includes requesting the admin's email as an extra input in the trigger.
The final flow asks for the Workspace Name and Admin Email, creating a workspace with the admin added, serving as the MVP of the solution with potential additional enhancements like approvals and notifications.
