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

  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 3In the App registration → API permissions, verify every required scope is listed and shows status 'Granted for <tenant>'; remove unused scopes that block consent
  4. 4Check Entra ID → Enterprise applications → Consent and permissions: if user consent is disabled, either enable it or route all consent through an admin
  5. 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
