Issue on Export To File for Power BI Reports

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I have been using the connector 'Export To File for Power BI Reports' for exporting the report into PDF for last 1 year. 

I have the viewer access on Power BI workspace which is in premium capacity Gen 2.

Everything was working fine till last week. But it is not working suddenly starting from yesterday. It throws below error.

Now, I got member access on Power BI workspace. Flow is working fine and able to export the file into PDF version.

Did Microsoft change any permission level on this connector ? Why the Viewer access is not working suddenly ?

 

Could someone clarify my doubt ?

    MSFT has some updates on Power BI workspace. Starting this year they have introduced modern workspace

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-new-workspaces 

    For exporting the data from the workspaces, it is required to have build permissions on datasets. Have the build permissions configured correctly to your account? I believe this is new requirement after the enhancement. More about the build permissions can be found below.

    Cheers,

     

    Vinay.
