Export-PowerBIDataflow

[Charline_74]

Here is my PowerShell script:

$credential = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList "APPID", ("Secret" | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force)

Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount -ServicePrincipal -Tenant "TenantID" -Credential $credential -Environment "Public"


Export-PowerBIDataflow -WorkspaceId "eae420bb-eb1b-40a5-90d6-a057156bdcc6" -Id "459dc124-187d-48cf-9888-4f2be43f61bf" -OutFile C:\Users\chbonier\Documents\DTF

Here is the error :

Export-PowerBIDataflow : Failed to write dataflow with ID 459dc124-187d-48cf-9888-4f2be43f61bf to file C:\Users\chbonier\Documents\DTF. Message: L'accès au chemin

Why access to the path is refused ?

Thanks In Advance,

HI @Charline_74,

According to The error message, it seems like these scripts failed to access to the specific path. I'd like to suggest you check the permissions of the PowerShell and folder if it allows to execute these operations.

In addition, you can also try to change the absolute path to relative path if it helps with these process.
