Yeah this isn't your file, it's a permissions thing. That 403 on "make changes to this model" almost always means you're missing Build permission on the published semantic model. Viewer or read access won't cut it for DirectQuery.
Ask whoever owns the dataset to give you Build on it. That fixes it like 80% of the time.If you already have Build, then it's the XMLA endpoint. Get your admin to check:
XMLA Endpoint set to Read (not Disabled) on the capacity
"Allow DirectQuery connections to Power BI semantic models" tenant setting is on
And if neither, just sign out and back in (File > Account > Sign out, restart, sign in). The May build has been handing out stale tokens.Start with Build permission though. That's the usual culprit.
If that was helpful, please give a thumbs up and mark it as the accepted solution.Thanks,

we have already tried the above steps, but the issue still persists

Hi VishleshaW
Have you asked any colleagues in your organization who have full access to the Power BI workspace and semantic model, and are using an updated version of Power BI Desktop, whether they are seeing the same issue? This will help to check if you're the only one experiencing it ?
hi, thanks for your reply
i have full access to the workspace and i have updated power bi desktop as well

Hi VishleshaW
Could you please confirm the current status of the issue? Is the problem still occurring in the latest Power BI Desktop version, or has it been resolved?
