Dataflow - import files marked with sensitivity label (user defined)

[mgluis]

Hello.

I'm trying to create a dataflow to import all Excel files in one sharepoint folder. Some of these files are marked as "highly confidential \ user defined" but my user has full control.

When I import them via PowerBI directly to semantic model there is no problem. However, when when I create a Dataflow I get the following error:

I'm providing organizational credentials to access the sharepoint, but I guess the same are not being used to access workbook data.

Any idea if this is possible?

Many thanks.

Hi,  @mgluis 

Due to compliance requirements, the organizational credentials you provide must be sufficient to access your Excel data. Alternatively, delete the sensitivity label at the data source and reset the corresponding sensitivity label at the dataflow or report level.

You can understand this issue from the following process:
