Hello, i am completing the Applied Skills assessment "Implement Real-Time Intelligence with Microsoft Fabric" and I am blocked on the task that requires importing a CSV file from the Azure Blob Storage into a KQL database using Get Data and selecting Azure Storage.

The only available authentication method is Workspace Identity, however when I attempt to save the connection I receive the error: "AuthKind WorkspaceIdentity did not have accessToken specified."

I found that:

The Fabric workspace identity has no role assignment on the storage account and i can't

select the "Add role assignment" button in Azure IAM because it is disabled — I cannot grant Storage Blob Data Reader to the workspace identity which is i assume is required to be able to connect to the blob storage

There are no alternative authentication methods available so i'm stuck on what to do.

    @Hat Sal Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

    MS Fabric is currently not supported in the Q&A forums, the supported products are listed over here Supported products on MS Q&A (more to be added later on).

    You can ask the experts in the dedicated MS Fabric community forum.

    Can you please open as a new thread in MS Fabric community: https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/General-Discussion/bd-p/ac_generaldiscussion
