My goal is to periodically push data to a Power BI dataset using their REST API without user intervention.
It seems like the only way that's currently possible is to configure user credentials into the application and authenticate that way. All examples of the 'App Owns Data' strategy require a user to log in, and then the Power BI APIs push data on the logged-in user's behalf.
I wrote an Azure WebJob that uses the credentials of a service account we created to authenticate with Azure AD and it's successfully pushing data to Power BI, but I'd like to do avoid having a service account just for this as it has cost and security implications.
Is there a way to use the Power BI REST API without user intervention and without logging in using Azure AD credentials?
