README for Shipyard Microsoft Power BI CLI Tool

Introduction

This CLI tool is designed to interact with the Microsoft Power BI REST API, providing a convenient command-line interface for automating tasks related to Power BI. It's part of the Shipyard integration suite and is intended for users who need to programmatically manage Power BI resources.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Access to Microsoft Power BI REST API with valid credentials.

Installation

To install this tool, ensure Python 3.x is already installed and then use pip to install the shipyard-microsoft-power-bi package:

pip install shipyard-microsoft-power-bi

Usage

The tool is run from the command line and requires several arguments to authenticate and specify the actions to be performed.

Authentication

The tool requires a service principal to authenticate with the Power BI REST API. The service principal must be created in Azure Active Directory and have read/write permissions to the tenant's Power BI resources. The service principal must also be added to the Power BI workspace as a member.

The following environment variables must be set to authenticate with the Power BI REST API:

• MICROSOFT_POWER_BI_CLIENT_ID: The client ID of the service principal.
• MICROSOFT_POWER_BI_CLIENT_SECRET: The client secret of the service principal.

Service Principal Creation

To create a service principal, follow the instructions in the Microsoft documentation.
