Unable to connect to a shared document despite having permission

[Anonymous]

Hello, 

Can someone help me with this?  I tried to open PowerBi Desktop-a shared report and it shows this. I am not sure why i see this as I can publish easily, and I am the 2nd admin.

Thank you!

Kind regards,

Gabriela

Instead of File Explorer, access the shared folder by Command Prompt using the below command:

Turn on the SMB 1.0 support feature from Control Panel by following these steps:

• Open Control Panel.
• Select Programs > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off > SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support.
• Check SMB 1.0/CIFS Client, and then press Enter.

Turn on network discovery and file and printer sharing options by following these steps:

• Open Control Panel.
• Select Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Advanced sharing settings.
• Select Turn on network discovery.
• Select Turn on file and printer sharing under Private.
• Select Save changes.

Set the startup type of specified services to Automatic to make the computer visible on the network. Here's how to proceed:

• Go to Start.
• Go to Search, enter the word Services, and press Enter.
• Change the Startup type property to Automatic for the following services.
• Function Discovery Provider Host
• Function Discovery Resource Publication
• SSDP Discovery
• UPnP Device Host
• Restart the system.

Hi, @Anonymous ,

We could check those limiations.

• Only users with Build permission for a dataset can connect to a published dataset using the Power BI service live connection

Build permission for shared datasets

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/desktop-report-lifecycle-datasets

and if you connect another datasets from your workspace. it's okey?
