Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.
Error 403 (Forbidden) is typically an access issue. This occurs because the app’s managed identity lacks Storage Blob Data Reader access on the underlying OneLake storage. Even with workspace and lakehouse permissions, storage-level access is also required. Assigning this role in Azure should resolve the issue.
If this post helps, then please consider Accepting as solution to help the other members find it more quickly, don't forget to give a "Kudos" – I’d truly appreciate it!
