3. 3To allow Microsoft Entra app to use the Power BI APIs, you must enable the Power BI service admin settings and then, add the Microsoft Entra app to the workspace in Power BI.
Note: The Manage access pane allows you to add roles to the Microsoft Entra app based on the required capabilities. The pane displays admin, member, contributor, and viewer roles. The maximum number of capabilities are associated with the admin role. However, to access Microsoft Fabric OneLake and perform read and write operations, you need at least the Contributor role.
