Service Principal as authentication type for SharePoint folder

Submitted by on ‎03-26-2024 08:06 AM

We urgently need Service Principal as authentication type for SharePoint folders in Power BI Service (when creating connections that will be used in a gateway). It's available for SharePoint Online lists.

Agreed -- we have data files (excel, csv, txt) in sharepoint folders and need to access them from PowerBI. Ideally, we want to do this via a service principal account rather than individual accounts. Sharepoint lists are insufficient -- we have hundres of dynamic files and cannot convert them to lists.

I'm facing similar issue. Since it's working for sharepoint lists would be great to have it also for sharepoint folders.

Yup, just commented on another idea where this was mentioned. Need this for files as well as users will then OAuth when Get Data from Web from the Sharepoint folder is used as a source.

Yeah!! better if we have Service Principal auth for SharePoint folders, not just lists. Since it already works for SP lists, please extend to folders too.

We also need this urgently! Perfect way would be via Workspace Identity also!
