# BI Genius Enable Power BI Service Settings

After you have installed BI Genius, you need to ensure that it has adequate permission in your Power BI tenant and access to your Power BI workspaces.

BI Genius uses the **same Entra ID app registration as Reporting Hub**, so it can already access any workspace that's integrated with Reporting Hub. You still need to confirm the tenant admin settings below (a few are specific to BI Genius), but you only need to grant workspace access again if you add a **new** workspace

## Enable Power BI Tenant Admin Settings

BI Genius uses the same Power BI tenant settings as Reporting Hub, plus two additional ones.

1. First, make sure **all of the Reporting Hub Power BI tenant settings** are enabled; see **Enable Power BI Service Settings**. If you've already deployed Reporting Hub, these are likely already on.

{% endcontent-ref %}

2. Then, in the [Power BI Admin portal](https://app.powerbi.com/admin-portal/tenantSettings) under **Tenant settings**, enable these two additional settings that BI Genius requires:

* [x] Semantic model execute queries REST API
* [x] Enhance admin APIs responses with DAX and mashup expressions

For each setting,&#x20;

1. Set **Apply to** to **The entire organization** or **Specific security groups**.
2. If you scope it to specific groups, add the **Reporting Hub Service Principal security group** (the one created during your Reporting Hub installation, which BI Genius reuses)
3. Select **Apply**.

## Connect Your Power BI Workspace

{% hint style="success" %}
**This step is optional.** Because BI Genius uses the same app registration as Reporting Hub, it can already access any workspace that's integrated with Reporting Hub. Follow the steps below only if you want to give BI Genius access to a **new** workspace that isn't yet connected to Reporting Hub.
{% endhint %}

1. Log in to the [Power BI service](https://app.powerbi.com/).
2. On the left menu, select **Workspaces**&#x20;
3. Choose the Workspace you want BI Genius to access.
4. From the top menu, select **Manage access**.
5. Select **Add people or groups**.
6. Begin typing the name of your **Reporting Hub app registration** (the **Name your Application** value you entered on the Entra ID Application Registrations page of the Reporting Hub installer).
7. Select the option that shows an **AppID** underneath it.
8. Select **Admin.**
9. Select **Add.**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.thereportinghub.com/bi-genius/bi-genius-deployment-step-by-step/bi-genius-enable-power-bi-service-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
