Share Fabric Data Agent

[Antoine1733]

Hi,

I’m trying to share a Fabric Data Agent connected only to a Lakehouse (no semantic model).

I gave:

• Read + Execute permissions on the Lakehouse

• access to the Data Agent itself

According to the documentation, workspace access should not be required.

However, when the target user asks a question to the agent, the agent says it cannot answer and returns this message:

“I could not access the data needed to answer your question because there is a database permission issue related to access to the customer table. This means I cannot retrieve the information about the customer with the highest consumption.”

And when opening the Data Agent, I get this error:

"PowerBINotAuthorizedException
Error retrieving workspace network security settings"

Why is the Data Agent trying to access Power BI workspace security settings if it is only connected to a Lakehouse?

Is there an additional permission required that is not documented?

Thanks.
