Linked table dataflow with Guest access

‎12-22-2023 07:47 AM

Hi, 

 

I am using guest account to create dataflows in my clients tenant. I can create dataflows without any issues. However, when I try to created a dataflow that has a linked table (i.e., connects to another table in the client's tenant), I am unable to do so. 


Everytime I try, it gives me the list of workspaces and dataflows from my primary tenant and not client's tenant. 

Has anyone managed to figure out why this would be the case?

Hi @nishantdatanomy 

ADLS is the storage space for Dataflows. 

The ADLS attached to Power BI must be part of the same Azure tenant that Power BI uses for Microsoft Entra ID.

Therefore building Dataflows cross tenants is not possible.
