I need help enabling access to Power BI in n8n, what do I need to do to grant this access?
@Caio_Lima_Santos n8n doesnt have a native Power BI node so u’d hit the Power BI REST API via the HTTP Request node. before the specifics — what direction are u trying to go: push data INTO Power BI (post rows to a streaming dataset, refresh a dataset), pull data OUT (query a dataset, list reports), or just trigger a refresh on schedule? the auth setup is slightly different per use case.
remember that you need to approve the app if it’s authentication via azure.
here are the docs for support
[App registrations - Microsoft Azure]
Microsoft credentials | n8n Docs
HTTP Request credentials | n8n Docs

Hi @Caio_Lima_Santos
The message “Please contact an administrator…” indicates that your n8n instance is managed centrally by your organization’s technical teams (byx.com.br) and that independent installation of community nodes is restricted.
-
Send an email to your system administrator at the address shown on your screen: admin-tech.tools@byx.com.br.
-
Ask them to install the following Power BI community node:
- npm package name: n8n-nodes-powerbi (developed by Anderson Rocha from Universo Automático and officially verified by n8n).
-
Note for the administrator: They simply need to go to n8n settings > Community Nodes > Install a community node and enter n8n-nodes-powerbi.
Once your administrator has installed the node, you’ll need to configure the credentials to connect n8n to your Power BI account. This node uses OAuth2 authentication via Microsoft’s identity platform.
