Azure DevOps: "Access to this resource is forbidden"

Azure DevOps: "Access to this resource is forbidden"

I am trying to Get Data from our Azure DevOps (boards only) to create a dashboard.

I have update Power BI Desktop to the latest.

I have cleared all the cache.

Removed/cleared/edited permissions.

Deleted all Azure DevOps in Data Source settings.

I was granted ALLOW for all Analytics in Azure / Contributor.

What else can I check to get access to our Azure DevOps boards for my team project ?

Hello, 

I'm having the same problem "access forbidden" while trying to access the azure devops data from powerbi.

Here are more details : 

- I can see the "board" section but there is no "analytics view" 
-All permissions are on "allow (inherited)" and I'am not able to put the "delete shared analytics views" & "edit shared analytics views" on "deny". 

- I don't have "view analytics" option on the "preview features" section.

Thank you in advance for your help 🙂

Hi @Anonymous ,

As the official document said, to begin connecting Azure DevOps data to Power BI via Analytics views, we need to first ensure the following Prerequisites are in place:

• You must be a member of a project with Basic access or higher. If you don't have a project yet, create one. For more information, see Sign up for free.
• If you haven't been added as a project member, get added now. Anyone with access to the project, except stakeholders, can view Analytics views.
• Boards must be enabled. If it is disabled, Analytics views won't be displayed. To re-enable Boards, see Turn an Azure DevOps service on or off
• Enable the Analytics Views preview feature either for individual users or for the organization.
• Have the View Analytics permission set to Allow. For more information, see Grant permissions to access the Analytics service.

Could you please provide such screenshot to help us clarify your scenario?

In addition, I have found a tutorials blog here, please follow the steps to have a try again:

Azure Devops Metrics in Power BI for Analytics

Refer to :

Manage preview features - Azure DevOps Services | Microsoft Docs

Set permissions to access Analytics and Analytics views

Hi @Anonymous ,

As the official document said,  such error appears if you have access to a given project but you do not have the View analytics permissions. Please work with your project administrator to get these permissions. 

For more information about the security model, see Analytics security.
