Description
Using pac solution export to export a Power Apps solution containing Power BI components, the error message returned is:
Error: You can't export one or more Power BI components because you don't have the right permissions
Version: 1.21.8+ga93a2c3
Authentication as service principal is successful.
This command works when authenticated as a user account with the same permissions as the service principal.
The Power BI components are a small dataset and a paginated report. The service principal can export the report individually using the Export Report in Group endpoint GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/reports/{reportId}/Export, but not with Export Report GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/reports/{reportId}/Export.
Will this be supported in the future?

Research direction
Start by tracing the pac solution export entry point and the Power BI export requests, comparing the group-scoped and unscoped endpoints described in the issue. Reproduce the failure with a service principal and a solution containing a dataset and paginated report; done means the solution exports successfully or the limitation is documented with a clear supported path.
