Dataflow fails in Pipeline with another user's credentials
Hi Thorns,
When a pipeline runs, it uses the identity of the user who triggers it. If the dataflow was created or last authenticated your co-worker, and you don’t have valid credentials for its data sources, the refresh fails with EntityUserFailure.
To solve it, you might want to take ownership of the dataflow, edit the dataflow and refresh the connection credentials with you own credentials.
Depending on the connection types within the dataflow, you might want to consider using service principal or workspace identity authentication in the connection. This works independently of user accounts.
Hope this helps. If so, please give a Kudos 👍 and mark as Accepted Solution ✔️.

We were considering transitioning to service principles, but this makes it a higher priority now. Thank you for the information!
