    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

I'm still seeing failures due to missing Reader role, can you wait some time and try again and if that doesn't work remove the role and re-assign - it might be issue with role propagation in AAD. Please collect the errors messages you encounter along the way and share if my suggestion doesn't work.

    I'm happy to hear that.

     

    If you can tell, can you please share which of the methods you've tried? Did you get it after waiting some time? Or was it after the removal/add things started to work?

     

    This can help other forum readers, in addition, we would like to communicate this back to storage team as part of our efforts to improve the experience.

    First, I set access to powerbi folder on ADLS2 storage account using Storage explorer (1.6.1) and then i tried to enable connection PowerBI with ADLS2 without success.

    Next i run script from Michael7 on the same storage account but nothing changed.

     

    So I decided today to create new storage account and executing on them script from Michael7, then after correcting my mistake with missing  Read role (for PowerBI service) and waiting some time (around 30 minutes), connection from ADLS2 to PowerBI was created with success.
