Salesforce Object Connector ODBC Error

‎09-01-2023 11:39 AM

I have a user attempting to create a Power BI report from a custom object with Topics associated from Salesforce. Diving into the background tables within Salesforce, he was able to find the Topic Assignment table that associates the Topic ID to the Object ID (in this case the specific custom object ID). The problem is Power BI doesn't allow connection to this table. It appears it may be a permissions issue within Salesforce? (screen grab attached). Salesforce community thinks is may be an issue with Power BI. Any thoughts?

The user may not have access to specific attributes of that object. Have your SFDC admin check the user role, profile, and field permissions.
