Power BI Error:
AADSTS65001
What does this error mean?
User or admin hasn't granted consent for the app's delegated permissions on this Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) tenant.
Common causes
- 1The app requests a delegated scope (e.g. Power BI Service, Dataset.Read.All, Microsoft Graph) that the user has never consented to
- 2Admin-restricted permissions are requested but no Global Administrator has granted tenant-wide admin consent
- 3Tenant policy 'Users can consent to apps' is disabled, so individual user consent silently fails
- 4The app registration's required API permissions were changed/added but consent was never re-granted
- 5Wrong client ID / multi-tenant app used in a tenant where it has never been provisioned via consent
How to fix it
- 1Have a Global Administrator open Entra ID → Enterprise applications → select the app → Permissions → 'Grant admin consent for <tenant>' to consent on behalf of all users
- 2If admin consent is not desired, trigger an interactive sign-in with prompt=consent (e.g. https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant>/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?...&prompt=consent) so the user can consent themselves
- 3In the App registration → API permissions, verify every required scope is listed and shows status 'Granted for <tenant>'; remove unused scopes that block consent
- 4Check Entra ID → Enterprise applications → Consent and permissions: if user consent is disabled, either enable it or route all consent through an admin
- 5For Power BI embedded / service principal scenarios, ensure the SP is added to the Power BI workspace and that 'Service principals can use Power BI APIs' is enabled in the Power BI admin portal
