I assume you're getting this error because ADF Data Flow preview runs on a separate debug cluster, which doesn’t use your private endpoint.
To fix it:
- Assign IAM role Storage Blob Data Reader to the ADF Managed Identity at the container level.
- If using ADLS Gen2, grant ACLs: Execute on parent folders and Read on the file(s).
- Ensure the storage firewall allows access from "Trusted Microsoft services" or configure VNet + private endpoint for data flow debug.
