Working for External Client, VPN access, internal shared folder

‎11-11-2022 06:31 AM

Hi,

So I am working for an external Client for which I only have access with VPN/Remote Machine. I have access to an internal (client I mean) shared folder, but only with my external email, which the client created for me. 

I would like to use my company email/powerbi account to access this folder and then perform an hourly scheduled refresh.

 

How could this be acomplished? 

As last resource I will send the files manually to my email, and use power automate to save on an internal sharepoint...

Many thanks

Hi! @campelliann 

 

I think the best way is to have a Power BI license with a similar email you are accessing SharePoint or ask your client to add your Power BI account as a guest user to Azure AD.

Thank you. But Is power BI able to access a virtual machine and do a scheduled refresh?
