fabricps-pbip Import-FabricItem updateDefinition : 401 (Unauthorized).; API error code: 'Unauthorized'

[NarendraReddyDell]

I am using following script to create 2 workspaces and publish the semantic model and report to the 2 different workspaces.

 $mdlworkspaceId = New-FabricWorkspace -name "TestPBIPModelWorkSpace" -skipErrorIfExists
$rptworkspaceId = New-FabricWorkspace -name "TestPBIPReportWorkSpace" -skipErrorIfExists

$currentPath = (Split-Path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition -Parent)
$pbipSemanticModelPath = "$currentPath\TestPBIP.SemanticModel"
$pbipReportPath = "$currentPath\TestPBIP.Report"

Set-FabricAuthToken -reset
$semanticModelImport = Import-FabricItem -workspaceId $mdlworkspaceId -path $pbipSemanticModelPath
$reportImport = Import-FabricItem -workspaceId $rptworkspaceId -path $pbipReportPath -itemProperties @{"semanticModelId" = $semanticModelImport.Id }

After succesfully running above script.. i granted myself read,build,share for the semantic model and changed role to "Viewer" on workspace "TestPBIPModelWorkSpace".

If i now try to publish the report it errors out... (update of report)
If i delete the report and deploy report.. it works fine again. (creation of report)

Import-FabricItem -workspaceId $rptworkspaceId -path $pbipReportPath -itemProperties @{"semanticModelId" = $semanticModelImport.Id }

For updating a report looks like fabric APIs warrant write privileges on the semantic model/workspace.

Pls advise if any workaround for same.

Thanks,
Naren

Hi Narendra, were you able to resolve this issue? I am also getting the same error starting from June 2nd 2025

Issue still persists... surprising to learn from you that it used to work earlier for you
