# PowerBI Account Setup
### Requirements
- PowerBi Pro license is required to access the APIs
### Step 1: Create an Azure AD app and configure the PowerBI Admin consle
Please follow the steps mentioned [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/embed-service-principal) for setting up the Azure AD application service principle and configure PowerBI admin settings
Login to Power BI as Admin and from `Tenant` settings allow below permissions.
- Allow service principles to use Power BI APIs
- Allow service principals to use read-only Power BI admin APIs
- Enhance admin APIs responses with detailed metadata
### Step 2: Provide necessary API permissions to the app
Go to the `Azure Ad app registrations` page, select your app and add the dashboard permissions to the app for PowerBI service and grant admin consent for the same:
- Dashboard.Read.All
- Dashboard.ReadWrite.All
<Note>
Make sure that in the API permissions section **Tenant** related permissions are not being given to the app
Please refer [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71001110/power-bi-rest-api-requests-not-authorizing-as-expected) for detailed explanation

### Step 3: Create New PowerBI workspace
The service principal only works with [new workspaces](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-create-the-new-workspaces).
