    Hi,
     
    There is a temporary issue with settings ACLs through Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer, until this is resolved, as a temporary mitigation you can try using this powershel script:https://setacls.blob.core.windows.net/scriptfolder/setacls.ps1
     
    In order to run the script, your global tenant admin needs to have "Storage Blob Data Contributor (Preview)" role on your storage account.
     
    Instructions on how to run this script:
        
    1. Login as global tenant administrator into Azure portal and open PowerShell (Cloud Shell) in your browser
    2. Choose Azure CLI 2.0 (type ‘az’)
    3. Upload the script (there is a button for it)
    4. Run the script. For example:  /home/admin/setacls -storageaccountname your_alds_gen2_storage_account_name

     

    The script will ask you to sign in, please follow the instructions.
     
    Thanks,
    Michael

     

     

    Hi,

     

    There is no more need in this workaround, please use ASE 1.6.2 which is availably for update and download.

     

    Thanks,

    Michael

General note -- we are working on improving the error handling in this scenario.

 

For your specific issue, it seems from traces that you didn't configure the filesystem correctly (didn't create 'powerbi' file system? didn't set correct permissions on root?) - filesystem setup starts here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-dataflows-connect-azure-data-lake-storage-gen2#create-a-file-system-for-power-bi

 

Can you let us know this solved your issue?

Hi Yehong,

 

Thanks for your help, but it didn't succeed unfortunately.

I already set it up the way that is described in the article you linked. However I tried setting it up once again, but without success.
