Re: Can't connect to Azure SQL Database

wenners68 · ‎10-23-2017

I'm trying to access my SQL data on Azure and get this message each time. This worked before with the same credentials, but now stopped literally overnight. I can access the data through SSMS. Any idea what could be the problem?

I had the same problem yesterday,

What the problem was:

My database (also sql) refreshed on mondaymorning 09:00, when the database refreshed, i lost connection with this database.

So they needed to give me permission to access the database, it seems that they have to do it every time the database refreshes.

Maybe this helps you out

We spoke to Microsoft, who suggested that we run Power BI as an administrator and connect to Azure SQL as an administrator while they look into this issue.
