connecting to sharepoint sub folder
Thanks for the answer. Briefly, I have access to main sharepoint, but the person that will update power BI will have access only to the subfolder (we do not want to give him access to the full sharepoint).
Hence I suspect he will get an authorization problem when retrieving data from the source (which is the main sharepoint).
Hope now it is clearer...
Unsure why the end user would be updating the report in your use case.
Power BI allows admins to publish reports within apps. The apps can be set to refresh periodically so the data is up to date. These apps can then be shared with end users so they can view the report.
The end user shouldn't need to refresh the data if the above has been implemented.
If you want your certain users to be able to create reports in Power BI you will need to give them more access, including to sharepoint.
Let me know if I've misunderstood something.
Thanks. That is the best solution in my view. I have implemented it. Thanks again.
