Hi all

I've followed the book for creating external location for Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS V2) using account connector

I've granted all required permissions to the connector:

I've created a "stock" container on that above mentioned "devtyremeshare" storage account:

and configured as recommended:

I can read files no prob

BUT I can't get file events to work.

It reports missing permission to write into the storage account, even after I created a custom role with 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/write' permission on the subscription level and assigned to the app connector (which is 4d2fd0d9-2339-498a-b058-990c13b55cf9 below)

I've been double checking and couldn't find any difference with the Microsoft learn guides.

No educational videos on youtube touches a subject of file triggers.  

 

Note that I also tried to create a POC job to hook on the file events and it errored exactly the same way.

 

Please help!!!
