Google Analytics Access to resource is forbidden

[anothersqlgeek]

Has anyone started to see this error?  No issues last week pulling Google Analytics data in Power BI Desktop but suddenly started getting resource is forbidden.  A note I can login with no issues to Google Analytics platform.

Hi all,

Have you all find the solution to this issue? I'm facing the same issue just today. Last night everything was working just fine. Super irritated.

Kindly help if can. Thanks!

Anyone facing the issue again as well?

Hi, Ask your GA admin, if is not you, to grant your permission again. That works for me. Daniel

[dguedes]

Apparently there is an update on the GA permissions that the admin user need to go through, so you can access again using Power BI.

Thanks.

I have the same problem. Don't know how to fix it...

i've accessed the google analtics but didnt see anything that need to provide further permission. Still having the forbidden error message

[DoubleFigroup]

I am also getting this error. I tried to clear permissions and then reset them and it still didn't work. 

[dguedes]

Having same issues here. "Access to resource is forbidden"

[annie-chen]

ditto here - queries from Google Analytics which were running fine before now all return "Access to the resource is forbidden."

This was a temporary issue and got fixed automatically 🙂

[geers]

We have the same problem, when was it fixed?

[AshwinKannoth]

I am getting this error starting from this morning.Anyone facing the same?

[andy_lim]

Same, I am having the issue. 
Hope is temperory only.

[AshwinKannoth]

Morning it was working fine. Suddenly it stopped working and throwing this error.

Tried clearing the cache and clear permissions. Still not working 😞

Hi all,

There's an issue on our side with the connection to Google API. It should be resolved now.

[anothersqlgeek]

It started working again this morning.  Do we know what caused this issue?

[asmith]

Yeah. I'm getting the same 'Access to the resource is forbidden' message as well. Like another poster said, hopefully just temporary.

Yes, I started seeing this today where 2 days ago it was fine with no change.

I can credential into Google Analytics fine - both in Power BI as well as at https://analytics.google.com

I've cleared my Power BI cache as well as generated the corresponding logs which seem to point to this error:
