Opportunity to populate MS SQL synonym for Power BI Dataflow
I need to populate MS SQL synonym for Power BI Dataflow. Need to extract data from them to Dataflow and use it for reporting. I have already configured getaway between power bi and sql server. When I trying to populate them: no available entities. See screenshots below. As for access I set it to "db_datareader" for account, that is used for dataflow and getaway, but according to MS documentation, synonyms are not included to "db_datareader" role So I gave to synonyms "Select" permissions manually (see screenshot below) Is it possible to populate synonyms to dataflow at all? Or need to find another way to represent data from database?
Access rights
Synonyms unavailability

hi @Anonymous
It seems that it could not achieve in power bi for now.
If you still have the problem, I would suggest you create a support ticket to get further help.
