Power BI Web API user access

Hello all,

 

I am trying to use Web API option in Power BI to fetch data from ServiceNow.

 

I have given all the access roles - Like rest api explorer, Web services admin including incident/table specific ACL roles.

I am only seeing a null/empty row in PowerBI when connected.

 

But when i impersonate the user in ServiceNow i am able to see all the records from tables.

 

Not sure what i am missing.. Any leads to this?

 

Thanks,

Mahathi

Thankyou everyone for taking out time to respond.

 

Realized the error was because of the number of rows, when i limit with an additional query. it is fetching the data.

Thankyou again

Hi @Mahathi ,

 

I can see the issue is with the user role. which role does the user have ?

web service admin, rest api explorer, itil.. now tried giving even admin

Some ways that you can try is :

 

1. See if the incident table has any restriction on who can read write data.

2. Try to connect via ( PostMan ) see if you can get the data. if yes then all the access are clear. issue must be on PowerBI

 

happy to help further
