Power BI Error:
AADSTS650052

What does this error mean?

The app requests a service ({name}) that the organization ({organization}) has not subscribed to or enabled in Microsoft Entra ID.

Common causes

  • 1The required service plan or SKU (e.g. Power BI Pro, Fabric, Office 365) is not assigned to the user or tenant in Microsoft 365 admin center
  • 2The service principal for the requested resource (e.g. Power BI Service, Azure Data Factory) is missing or disabled in the tenant
  • 3The application requests a scope/resource that the organization has explicitly disabled (e.g. PowerBIService disabled by tenant admin)
  • 4Trial or evaluation license has expired and was not renewed
  • 5The app is multi-tenant and the guest tenant lacks the underlying service the home tenant has enabled

How to fix it

  1. 1Identify the service in the {name} placeholder from the original error and verify in Microsoft 365 admin center → Billing → Licenses that an active subscription exists for that service in the tenant ({organization})
  2. 2Assign the relevant license (Power BI Pro/PPU, Fabric capacity, etc.) to the affected user under Users → Active users → Licenses and apps
  3. 3In Microsoft Entra admin center → Enterprise applications, confirm the service principal for the requested resource exists and is enabled (User sign-in = Yes)
  4. 4If the service is enabled, check that the app registration's API permissions request a resource the tenant actually owns — remove or replace any scope tied to a non-subscribed service
  5. 5For Power BI/Fabric specifically: have a Fabric admin verify Power BI service is not blocked at tenant level (admin portal → Tenant settings) and that the user is in an allowed security group
