connecting to sharepoint sub folder
Very clear and easy to implement. But, what if the power BI user does not have access to the sharepoint main URL but just to a specific subfolder? In this case I guess he would get an error when updating the power BI model since he cannot access the sharepoint in first place? Is there any workaround in this case?
I am unsure of your specific use case, feel free to explain a little more.
Assuming you work in a business environment, with a dedicated sharepoint site, and you have been given the ability to create reports with Power Bi by your IT department. Then it would be probable that your IT department would grant access to sharepoint. I would raise the query with them and ask them for access.
You can check if you have access by signing into sharepoint using your business credentials.
