You must have global administrator permissions to connect your organization's Azure Data Lake Storag

[amien]

Hi,

i get this error when i'm trying to connect my datalake to powerbi. But i'm setting this error : 

"You must have global administrator permissions to connect your organization's Azure Data Lake Storage account to Power BI."

I followed this guide:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-dataflows-connect-azure-data-lake-storage-gen2

I'm logged in PowerBI with an account that has a PowerBI Pro subscription and is also global admin of the azure subscription. What did i miss?

Thanks in advanced

Hi @amien ，

Have you followed the steps below?

[amien]

Yes .. all 3 application have full access to the blob storage. Otherwise i would expect a permission error like i had before.

[amien]

btw .. i have a Free Azure account with 170 euro in credits. This is not an issue right? I don't need "pay-as-go"?>

[amien]

Anyone?

[amien]

nobody had this issue?

To configure a connection to Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 in the Power BI admin portal, you must have Global Administrator permissions. However, Global Administrators cannot connect external storage in the admin portal."

What does this mean?
