Power BI Error:
AADSTS650054

What does this error mean?

The app requested permissions for an API or service principal that no longer exists in the Microsoft Entra ID tenant.

Common causes

  • 1A required API or service principal has been deleted from the Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) tenant
  • 2The app manifest still references a resourceAppId (e.g. an old custom API) that no longer exists
  • 3Stale API permissions remain in the app registration after a resource was decommissioned
  • 4The app was registered in a different tenant than the one the user is signing into (multi-tenant mismatch)
  • 5A custom-developed API's service principal was removed but consuming apps still request its scopes

How to fix it

  1. 1Open the app registration in Entra admin center → API permissions and identify any permission marked 'Other permissions granted' or showing an unknown/missing resource
  2. 2Remove permissions that point to deleted or unknown resources, then click 'Grant admin consent' to refresh the consent state
  3. 3In the app's manifest, inspect requiredResourceAccess and delete entries whose resourceAppId no longer resolves to a service principal in the tenant
  4. 4If the resource should still exist (e.g. a custom API), re-register its service principal in the current tenant via 'Enterprise applications → New application'
  5. 5Verify the user is signing in against the correct tenant — for multi-tenant apps, ensure the resource is provisioned in each consuming tenant
