Connection Access

[Zicozen]

I have created a blank new Workspace and I have created a feature branch in Azure DevOps. I now want to integrate my newly created Workspace with the feature branch. However I am getting the following error for a particular pipeline called Child - Ingest Data...

Cluster URI https://wabi-north-europe-i-primary-redirect.analysis.windows.net/

Request ID 15a006b0-38e8-481f-a190-6bb13c088c85

Workload Error Code RequestValidationFailed

Workload Error Message User does not have access to the connection used in the Pipeline. Please verify the user's permissions.

The Child - Ingest Data pipeline 

In another Workspace where this pipeline has been deployed, when I open up the pipeline, I see the following warning message...

You cannot access one or more connections used in this pipeline. You can either ask the pipeline owner to grant permissions to all connections used in the pipeline or choose other connections that you can access. 

I am struggling to understand the security model in Fabric related to connections and how it works and how I can resolve this moving forward with best practice recommendations

Thanks in advance

Hi @Zicozen

You can use the Fabric REST API endpoints to check the connections an item is associated with followed by who's the owner of the connection. 

GET https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/{workspaceId}/items/{itemId}/connections

GET https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/connections/{connectionId}/roleAssignments

 

You could then reach out to the owner and ask to grant you the required permissions. 

 

Hope this helps - please leave a Kudos or accept as a Solution!

Hi @Zicozen, 

There are gateway or cloud connections in use that you don't have permissions on. 

If they are cloud connections, ask the original author of the pipeline to share them with you. If they are gateway connections, you can ask the gateway admin to share them.
