Hi, we are unable to connect PowerBI to Fabric Lakehouse due to changes in the user account used to create this Lakehouse. We would appreciate the community support in solving this problem.

Hi @syscpd ,

Do you mean you can't find the lakehouse you want to connect to in PowerBI Desktop? 
Please check if the current account is in the workspace where lakehouse is located and has Contributor and above role permissions?
Workspace roles and permissions in lakehouse
If not, please go to Share With Me and check to see if the name of this lake cabin is in there.

Lakehouse sharing and permission management
If none of these are available, then this account does not have access to connect to lakehouse, please consider getting access permission from someone who does.

Best Regards,

It sounds like you’re facing a tricky issue with connecting Power BI to your Fabric Lakehouse after changes to the user account. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this problem:

1. Update Credentials: Ensure that the credentials for the new user account are correctly updated in Power BI. Go to Data Source Settings in Power BI Desktop, find your Lakehouse connection, and update the credentials.

2. Clear Permissions: Sometimes, clearing the existing permissions and re-adding them can help. In Power BI Desktop, go to File > Options and settings > Data source settings, select your Lakehouse, and clear the permissions. Then, reconnect using the updated credentials1.

3. Service Principal: If you’re using a service principal for authentication, make sure it has the necessary permissions. Note that currently, Power BI only supports Azure Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) for authentication2.

4. Check Power BI Version: Ensure that you are using the latest version of Power BI Desktop. Sometimes, updating to the latest version can resolve connectivity issues3.

5. DirectLake Connection: Consider using the DirectLake connection method, which can sometimes bypass i...4.

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, you might find additional help in the Microsoft Fabric Community. They have a wealth of knowledge and might have encountered similar issues.

Let me know if you need further assistance or if there’s anything else I can help with!
