Cannot attach a CDM folder to a new dataflow
HI jakubpetr ,
CDM is azure based service and power bi service is based on office 365.
The permission you mention is Power Bi admin permission(office 365), it does not work on the Azure side. I think you need Azure AD account with corresponding permissions to operation on CDM.

Also, I am now getting a new error when I try to create a dataflow with a CDM folder:
Something went wrong
Could not perform this operation due to an internal error

Here is a screenshot. Notice the status code is 404, whereas I previously encountered 400 in this issue and was not given a status code at all in the original post of this thread. Do these status codes represent HTTP status codes? Does 404 mean "not found?" Power BI's error messages have thus far sadly been utterly unhelpful.
This indeed doesn't appear to be a permission issue. I can create a regular dataflow backed by a table just fine, Power BI can use it and I can see it in the Storage Explorer. Yet, trying to attach a CDM folder in the same filesystem - literally right next to the folder created by Power BI - fails with the aforementioned error.
Were you able to resolve this issue? We're getting the same 404 error when attaching a CDM folder.
