Excited to see all of the new Power BI Dataflow capabilities especially with using Azure Data Lake Gen2 as the storage location for those Dataflows.
But, I have been trying to get it setup using the Microsoft provided step-by-step guide on: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-dataflows-connect-azure-data-lake-storage-gen2. The specific steps that I have been unable to complete are in the 'Grant Power BI permissions to the file system' section steps #7 and #8. I have only tried it using Azure Storage Explorer v1.6 since that is the method shown in the documentation.
When I try to Add the Object IDs for the Power BI Service and Power Query Online as shown in the screenshots I only get an error saying that it cannot find those User IDs/Groups. I have attached the full error message captured in ASE to see if that might help track it down. I did this with my elevated permissions Azure account and also had our admin grant me full Admin rights over our tenant and could not get it working.
Has anyone been able to complete the steps to grant the Power BI Service and Power Query Online applications access to the powerbi blob container in their Azure Data Lake Store Gen2? I even re-created the ADLSg2 yesterday since I had it created in the original private preview. Without these steps I have not been able to complete the process in the Power BI Admin screen to connect Power BI up to the Data Lake for Dataflows.
Thanks,
Steve

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
Azure Storage Explorer 1.6.2 has been officially released https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/vs-azure-tools-storage-explorer-relnotes#version-162
Issues with ASE 1.6.1 are fixed with 1.6.2, please let us know of any issues you encounter with it during setup of storage with PowerBI as outlined here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-dataflows-connect-azure-data-lake-storage-gen2
Hi @yehong, what about changing the ADLS Gen2 account to be associated with Power BI?
What about if I need to move my storage account to another subscription?
Thanks,
Elisa
You understood correctly.
We're always trying to improve the experience we deliver:
1. Can share why you're looking to move a storage to a different subscription / resource-group?
2. Link/Unlink storage accounts - can you please create a new idea in Power BI community? explaining why do you need this functionality / how you expect it to behave?
3. Multiple storage accounts - can you please create a new (separate) idea in Power BI community? explaining why do you need this functionality / how you expect it to behave?
You can add new Power BI Ideas here: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas
Please share links to these ideas once created so others can add their voice as well !
Hi @yehong,
I'm looking to move the ADLS2 used by Power BI Dataflows to a different subscription / resource-group because at the beginning I used for testing purpose my Visual Studio MPN Subscription, but now I want to move the ADLS2 to a pay-as-you-go subscription within the same tenant.
As you suggested, I've just created two new Power BI ideas
...waiting for your comments, suggestions and hopefully votes! 😉
Elisa
any suggestion why I still get no success?

I am with the same issue. Checked the points several times and got the error.
Hi everyone, we acknowledge the reported setup issues. we have found a potential issue in Azure Storage Explorer and are working on a mitigation.
We will update this post when we have more information and ETA.
Thank you.
Hi,
I'm having the same issue. Looking forward to any help you can provide.

Hi Micheal,
I managed to run the provided powershell script and the set up ran successfully. Set ACLs App has been successfully created and have Azure Storage Access on my data lake storage account as well as Read Permissions on the Azure Active Directory. I have added the objectId of this app to the powerbi folder on my storage account with full access.
There is still an issue with connecting Dataflows to the Azure Data Lake Gen2 account.
Error Message:
Can you please advise the solution for this.
Thanks
Bhavesh
I can confirm that I was able to run these steps and get the Dataflows setup with our ADLSg2 Data Lake in Azure! 🙂
Thanks, now I can start to play with this new feature! 🙂
Steve
Hi all,
Thanks! I can also confirm that this works for me! Great work!
Hi @Anonymous,
Can you please briefly explain what are the series of steps performed to make this work successfully.
It would be really appreciated! I am trying all the recommended steps as explained by @Michael7 but have no success.
This would really assist me in debugging the process.
Thanks,
Hi all,
The problem is resolved after updating the azure storage explorer and adding Power BI service as a reader role on the data lake storage account.
Thank you all for the wonderful support,
Thanks
Bhavesh
