Description
Due to recent WAM changes we are unable to launch various PS modules when logged in to PS or Code as an admin user. This is down to the way WAM handles login flow
Unfortunately logging in as a standard user isn't really possible as we use Constrained Language Mode - we need to be able to bypass this or to install modules
Power BI PS does not seem to currently support logging in via -DeviceCode which seems to be the most stable way to bypass this currently.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating the Power BI PowerShell login entry points and tracing the current WAM-based flow; compare them with any existing authentication options. Done means the relevant modules support a DeviceCode login path and the constrained-language administrator scenario can authenticate successfully.
