Error When Connecting to Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 using Power BI : Unable to Connect: Access to the resource is forbidden

on
Connecting to Data Lake Store via Power BI is become a norm. However though the steps are few, which is really not straight forward as you might need to do some sort of tweaks in order to getting to the data.


Recently came across some issue while trying to connect to the Azure Data Lake Gen 2 using Power BI. I used the URL which you can retrieve from Azure Portal or Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer > Properties. I'm not going to explain it the steps in details as it is pretty straight forward and there are many articles on how to do it. 

Retrieve the URL from Azure Storage Explorer properties

However when I click the OK button to connect, surprisingly I got the error message mentioned in below. 
Unable to Connect: Access to the resource is forbidden.

Error Message

Confusion here is I've logged in using the same account which I used to create the resource. My account has "Owner" role been assigned.

Solution 

The AD user you used in Power BI to connect to the Azure Data Lake, Storage Blog Data Reader permission has to be given, in order to read the data in ADL.


This approach worked very well to sort this problem I mentioned above.
