Create new connection under Link to Microsoft Fabric is not working

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by
Dear all, 
We want to use the Link to Microsoft Fabric in our Power app develop environment. 
Access to Power BI and Fabric capacity is checked, but the Connect to Microsoft Fabric face under issue:
under Connection credentials, 
When I click Create new connection, nothing happens and I cannot progress further. 
1. I have the role as System Admin and I am the Admin of the environment. 
2. We have Microsoft Fabric subscription F8 and have assigned Fabric workspace. 
3. The Power app environment and the Microsoft Fabric are in the same region Europe. 
 
What should I do next?
 
Many thanks in advance
Joan

    To troubleshoot the issue you’re experiencing while trying to connect Microsoft Fabric to your Power App development environment, let’s go through a structured approach:
    ### Steps to Diagnose and Resolve the Issue:
    1. **Check Browser Compatibility:**
       - Ensure you are using a supported browser. Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome are generally recommended. Clear the browser cache and cookies or try using incognito mode to avoid cache-related issues.
    2. **Admin Permissions:**
       - Although you have System Admin privileges, double-check that you have the necessary permissions not just for Power Apps but also for Microsoft Fabric. Sometimes role assignments can be complex, and specific permissions may be needed to create connections.
    3. **Check Fabric Workspace Access:**
       - Ensure that your user account is correctly assigned to the Fabric workspace and has necessary privileges (such as contributor or admin role). You can verify this by going to the Fabric workspace settings and confirming your role.
    4. **Investigate Network and Security Settings:**
       - Check for any network-related issues, such as firewalls or VPNs, that might be blocking the connection attempt. If your organization uses a corporate network, restrictions could prevent the process from proceeding.
    5. **Validate Power Platform and Fabric Integration:**
       - Confirm that the integration feature between Power Apps and Microsoft Fabric is enabled within your Power Platform settings. Sometimes, these features may need to be toggled on or require higher levels of administrative privilege.
    6. **Testing in Different Environments:**
       - If possible, try to connect to Microsoft Fabric from another environment or account. This can help determine whether the issue is specific to your environment or account.
    7. **Review Service Health Dashboard:**
       - Visit the Microsoft 365 Service health status page to check for any ongoing issues or outages related to either Power Apps or Microsoft Fabric that could be affecting connectivity.
    8. **Update Power Apps:**
       - Ensure that your Power Apps environment is up to date. Sometimes, issues arise from using outdated versions of applications. Check for any updates or announcements regarding changes in capabilities.
    9. **Access Support:**
       - If after the above checks you are still unable to proceed, consider reaching out to Microsoft support directly. They can provide tailored assistance and insights based on your subscription and environment settings.
    10. **Community Forums and Documentation:**
        - Utilize community forums or the Microsoft documentation for issues similar to yours. There may be additional user experiences shared that can provide insights into resolving connection problems.
    ### Summary:
    By working through these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the connectivity issue.
