I have an issue when I do refreshing the data source that contains the images
I sent this issue to the Power BI support team, around 2 months ago. They did several tests trough the online meeting but it did not work. Today I could map the data source folder and refresh it by service.
I believe they solved something in their end. But another suggestion is updating the service. ( I am using the oct2019, R2). My issue solved before the update!
Hi,
Thank you for the response.
when I added Locpic data source as a folder source to the gateway I had this issue. Then I chose to skip test connection and it added,
But I can not refresh it obviously.
And if I remove the checkmark for the Skip test connection I can not apply because of the same issue.
In the desktop version, I chose the privacy level for the folder public and everything is fine and I am able to refresh it.
The issue is with the gateway.
Thank you
Most Valuable ProfessionalAnonymous thanks for clarifying.
What credentials (username and password) are you using, as they are not working? Are you using your own account? And did you set the Privacy level setting also to Public in the gateway?
What is the exact error message you see when clicking on Show details?
I used one of the usernames and pass that we use for all of the Power BI reports but it doesn't work. then the admin gave me(my own username) the full permission on that Local folder but it is not working.
about this question "And did you set the Privacy level setting also to Public in the gateway?" Yes.
the error message is Invalid connection credential.
The credentials provided for the Folder source are invalid.
- nickyvvQuick follow-up, as you are using your username, did you add your domain (so domain\username)?
Access to this same folder does work in Desktop right?Yes. I used the domain names.
Yes. it works on the desktop.
