Unable to Insert into Shortcut Table in Fabric

Hi there, I have recently been experiencing a problem where I can read data from a Shortcut (that links to a data warehouse) in my lakehouse notebook, but I cannot write data to it or delete data. I have confirmed that my permissions in the lakehouse/shortcut and the target data warehouse location are Admin. I have also confirmed matching schemas for the table in the shortcut and the data I am trying to insert.

I get this error: 
Caused by: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: Operation failed: "Forbidden", 403, PUT, ... Forbidden, "User is not authorized to perform current operation for workspace ____ and artifact ___"

 

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Shortcuts to Warehouses are read-only, you won't be able to write/modify data in a Warehouse using a shortcut.  Infact you wont' be able to modify data in a Warehouse using a Notebook unless you use a JDBC driver, the Warehouse is a SQL-based service

Hi @abigailpham how are you writing/deleting data from the warehouse table? Can you share the process/code

Hi,

So in the lakehouse attached to this notebook I have created a shortcut to the warehouse I want to write to. The shortcut is "gold_movie_catalog_1".

My code:

# Insert into Shortcut

spark.sql("INSERT INTO MovieProduction.gold_movie_catalog_1 VALUES ('Test','Test','Test','Test','Test','Test','Test','Test');")

Interesting! I think I got the wrong impression from the documentation that any shortcuts are read and write. We are going to solely use a lakehouse instead. Thank you for your response.
