Power BI Desktop - Get Data - Access Denied
I do not have local admin rights to my computer based on company policy; I assume you do not either.
But local desktop installed Avecto on my machine which gives me elevated priviledges. That has solved my problem.
You need to elevate your priviledges. Good luck!
Hi
I have the exast same issue but when accesing any kind of source (excel or SQL Server). I've removed the credentials but it's the same. After selecting the name of the SQL Server, it gives access denied.
If I uninstall and install the application again, it works for a time, but the next I have the same issue. After reinstalling I create a link to some tables, and today when I try to modify the queries or to reload the data, if fails with the Access Denied error. It looks similar to pressing the Deny button when the privilage are elevated. Looks like the application rememberes a denial ¿?.

Hello Jw
Can you help,
A user in our company has been using Power Bi without any issues until they changed their user password and now they are not able to access some of the folders / lists they have already created a connection to, they receive the message access denied.
We are not sure what Avecto is and whether they need to install it or not
Any suggestions would help to resolve this issue, I have tried to connect to the same data and I do not have any issues.
Thank you
Claire
