Power BI Desktop - Get Data - Access Denied

Power BI desktop was working fine;  I could get data from excel,  sqlserver, and oracle and generate visuals. Now whenever I try Get Data,  I get Access Denied?????  Any ideas?

    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!

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
