Shortcut to ADLS - Error 401 - Not Authorized
hello elpaloo
When creating a shortcut to ADLS Gen2 in a Lakehouse, the authentication process differs fundamentally from Data Pipeline connections. While both utilize the same credentials, they employ different authorization mechanisms and permission requirements
Please make sure these :
The Service Principal must have at minimum the "Storage Blob Data Reader" role for read operations or "Storage Blob Data Contributor" for write operations
Unlike general Azure roles like "Owner" or "Contributor," data operations on ADLS Gen2 specifically require data-plane roles
The storage account must have Hierarchical Namespace enabled for proper ADLS Gen2 functionality
