Reference Azure Data Lake Path directly in Azure Fabric Notebook using Workspace Identity.

Hi,

 

I want to refrence a data lake path directly in an Azure Fabric Notebook by running a command like so: 

df = spark.read.format("delta").load("abfss_path")
 
I believe running this command, means that the authentication to the path will happen through my domain account. Instead I would like to authenticate using the Azure Fabric Workspace Identity. 

So, I have 2 queries here: 
1. How can I set the authentication in the Fabric Notebook such that if I were to run this command it uses Azure Fabric's Worksapce Identity for Authentication. 
2. If 1 is possible, What permissions do I need to provide the workspace identity on the storage account to ensure I don't get a permission denied error?

    Hi anawast 
    Thanks for using Fabric Community.
    Currently, directly referencing an ADLS Gen2 path with workspace identity in a Fabric notebook using spark.read.format("delta").load("abfss_path") isn't supported. 

    However, your suggestion is definitely valuable! We use customer feedback like yours to prioritize future features. The more users who request the ability to customize backgrounds, the higher it moves on our list.

     

    Appreciate if you could share the feedback on our Microsoft Fabric Ideas. Which would be open for the user community to upvote & comment on. This allows our product teams to effectively prioritize your request against our existing feature backlog and gives insight into the potential impact of implementing the suggested feature.

     

    I hope this information helps. If you have any further queries please do let us know.

    Thanks
