Error: "Access to the resource is forbidden" using Azure Blob Storage source

[Anonymous]

Hi, hope you guys have a great day.

I'm working on a project that gets data from an  Azure storage account. The project worked fine last month (using daily refreshes), but yesterday an error came up.

I tried to get data from another storage account, same error message. I checked our storage accounts on Azure and apparently nobody has made any changes.

Could you help me?

This should help assign the Storage Blob Data Reader role to the user.

Hi @Anonymous ,

You may go through the link to learn how to connect to Azure Blob Storage in Power BI Desktop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wufpknX9mA8, pay attention to the connect details.

You can also refer to the similar caser: Trying to access my storage account errors with "Access to the resource is forbidden" .

Amy, my problem was similar to the case you mentioned. My datetime settings got messed up and I changed the settings manually.

Thank you very much for your help!
