SharePoint List Access to resource is forbidden
Hi james_k_apm,
The above error could occur when using wrong log-in option to connect to SharePoint.
If your site is Office365, please enter organizational credential using the third option in the above screenshot. If your site is on premise, use Windows credentials as you mentioned. In addition, make sure that you use the latest version of Power BI Desktop.
For more details about connecting to SharePoint Online list from Power BI Desktop, please review this similar article: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Connect-to-a-SharePoint-List-Power-Query-3226f248-f8b3-4777-82ce-b4ed04dedaaf?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US .
Thanks,

I have googled for this issue but not seeming to find what might be causing this.
I am tying to connect to a SharePoint Online list via the Power BI desktop but keep getting an "Access to resource is forbidden" see below:
I know my user credentials has access to the site, I am the site owner, is there anything else I should be looking at?
Cheers

I have the same issue.
Logged into Power BI Desktop with my O365 account, however, I want to open on-premises SharePoint List as a data source. I place site URL, Windows login, but always got the error: Unable to connect. Details: "Access to the resource is forbidden."
Power BI desktop client updated to the latest version.
Any other suggestions?
thanks,
Marta
