Dataflows Gen2 - Variable Library - Service Principal (SPN) support

Currently, Dataflows that use Variable Library integration can only successfully refresh if the refresh is not using an SPN for authentication.   https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/data-fac...

Apologies for the confusion. The limitation is actually inherited by the Dataflow itself and not imposed by the Variable library integration with Dataflows.

 

This documentation article lists the limitation on how you cannot use an SPN to trigger a refresh at this moment:

Background Jobs - Run On Demand Execute - REST API (Dataflow) | Microsoft Learn

 

We're working towards a plan to faciliate the SPN refresh, but don't have an ETA for it.

 

Will be declining this idea based on how its framed, as this is not a limitation imposed by the variable libraries, but we can continue the conversation about having dataflows support SPN on the idea below:
