I have the same problem when I try to perform the following steps to register and scan one or more Power BI tenants in Azure Purview in a cross-tenant scenario: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/purview/register-scan-power-bi-tenant#register-and-scan-a-cross-tenant-power-bi. I'm stuck at step 12.

Same issue here!

Running the code:

Set-AzDataCatalogSessionSettings -DataCatalogSession -ServicePrincipalAuthentication -TenantId $azuretenantId -ServicePrincipalApplicationId $ServicePrincipalId -ServicePrincipalKey $ServicePrincipalKey -DataCatalogAccountName $purviewaccount -Verbose

Received Error:

I solved the problem. Please check your Service Principal's API permissions. It needs to have DELEGATED permissions. In my case, I had given Application permissions. See section 8.b in documentation for the details.
