Accessing file in a Sharepoint when you don't have access to all the path

[Victormar]

Hello, community

I am wondering if there is any way to bypass accessing a file in SharePoint when you don't have access to the full Sharepoint. 

I know how to access Sharepoint and navigate to the file, but what happens if I only get access to the file, and not the complete path?

Thanks for your help 🙂

Hi , @Victormar 

If you only have the file access and do not hace the full Sharepoint, when you connect to the "SharePonit folder", it will return the error like this:

And in my test , if we only have the access to the file , and then we use the ODATA or the Web connector , we also get the error until i add a member to the shareponit site.

Sorry for i am not knowadgable about the Shareponit , for the access to give other products to view , i think you can ask this question to the Sharepoint community.

And for some document about this , you can refer to :
How to connect to SharePoint file with Power Query or Power BI (datacornering.com)

Quick steps for connecting to SharePoint using Pow... - Microsoft Power BI Community

Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!
