Supported Environments and PowerShell Versions

• Windows PowerShell v3.0 and up with .NET 4.6.1 or above.
• PowerShell Core (v6) and up on any OS platform supported by PowerShell Core.

Installation

The cmdlets are available on PowerShell Gallery and can be installed in an elevated PowerShell session:

Install-Module -Name MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt

Optionally you could install individual modules (based on your needs) instead of the rollup module, for example if you only wanted the Workspaces module:

Install-Module -Name MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Workspaces

If you have an earlier version, you can update to the latest version by running:

Update-Module -Name MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt

Uninstall

If you want to uninstall all the Power BI PowerShell cmdlets, run the following in an elevated PowerShell session:

Get-Module MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt* -ListAvailable | Uninstall-Module -Force

Usage

Two scopes are supported by cmdlets that interact with Power BI entities:

• Individual is used to access entities that belong to the current user.
• Organization is used to access entities across the entire company. Only Power BI tenant admins are allowed to use.
