Python Permission Denied Error 13

I'm getting this error when I try to run some python code:

 

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'FILEPATH/FILE.csv'

    ErrorCode=-2147467259
    ExceptionType=Microsoft.PowerBI.Scripting.Python.Exceptions.PythonScriptRuntimeException

I know I have access to this file because I pulled it in a previous query, and a later query, successfully. 

 

Also, everytime I'm prompted for permissions, I accept.

 

Thanks in advance!

HI @Anonymous ,

>>I know I have access to this file because I pulled it in a previous query, and a later query, successfully. 

I think the permission is means execute python script permission. It will display permission alert every time you changed on the python script. (permission is matched with specific python code, you need to confirm operation permissions for executing new code)

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Thanks for the tip! However, I know that I always accept the script when it asks for permission.

 

I'll run the script once, it'll ask for permission, and I will give it. This works fine.

Then, I'll try to re-run all my queries. This time, it gives me this error. I did not change anything in the script.

 

This is why I'm confused.

HI @Anonymous ,

Any specific operations in your formula? Can you please share more detail information about these?

BTW, current power bi does not support dynamic python code based on query parameters. (it will display permission notice every time your parameter changes)
