Azure access token always returns 401

I have obtained an access token from https://login.microsoftonline.com/tenentid/oauth2/token - using the grant_type=client_credentials

Now, when I try to get the embedded token from https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/gid/reports/rid/GenerateToken it always returns 401 unauthorized.

Does anyone have any idea why it is like this?

Make sure you are authenticating against PowerBI audience, you can see it in the decoding of the token in the 'aud' property.

401 (Unauthorized) suggests a bad authority issuing tokens, or a conflict of permissions. Make sure you have a 'Bearer XXX' token where XXX is your access token.

Also make sure you have the right group & report ids (it tends to happen :) )
