Find the Presentation deck here

This sample script is used to call PowerBI API's using PBI Powershell Modules from Azure DevOps Pipelines. I've written a Detailed Article https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/53172.azuredevops-cicd-for-powerbi-reports.aspx on how you can implement this with Azure DevOps, Read the article for the full reference.

Modules need to be installed

1. MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Workspaces
2. MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Profile

Actions Implemented by this Scripts

1. PowerBI SPN Autentication
2. PowerBI Take Over a dataset
3. PowerBI Update Data Source Credentials
4. PowerBI Update Parameters

The below Script you can run in your local machine for internal testing, for integrating this script with Azure DevOps, please download the file which have been attached here.
