I have a server with folders of data that i am looking at.
I am trying to connect to the folder using the server local administrator account
the folder is shared, the administrator has full control
when i enter the credentials into power bi client, i get error
We couldn't authenticate with the credentials provided
i don't understand, the account is local admin, and can access the folder with no problems
Hi braddo81,
I test this in my environment, I have the same problem. So I suggest that you could open a ticket(https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/support/) for this problem.
Thanks for your understanding and support.
Best Regards,
Zoe Zhi
