Synapse notebooks in a workspace don't load BUT are being run by triggers

I have a workspace with all of our colleagues. Platform did a change and it seems that triggers and notebooks are all gone. We cannot access them at all (this has huge business implications for us). We can see the blob storage and the spark pools. When we login into the workspace, a message shows up with: "Failed to load. Failed to load one or more resources due to forbidden issue, error code 403."

However, before losing all hope, I have 6 triggers that run daily. The output of those notebooks are data stored in another platform, so I know that:

  • the triggers are being called every day
  • the triggers successfully call the (missing) notebooks
  • the notebooks are successfully run!

Obviously, in the workspace, I cannot even see the triggers nor the logs nor anything.

What could I do to get those notebooks back ?

    It sounds like you are experiencing a permissions issue with your Azure Synapse Analytics workspace, which is causing the error code 403 when trying to access the notebooks and triggers. Here are some steps you can take to resolve this issue:

    1. Verify Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access the notebooks and triggers in the workspace. You may need to check with your Azure administrator to confirm that your user account has the appropriate roles assigned.
    2. Check Role Assignments: If the subscription was recently transferred to a different Microsoft Entra directory (tenant), role assignments may have been lost. You will need to reassign the necessary roles to users and managed identities to regain access to the Synapse workspace and its resources.
    3. Access the Synapse Studio: If you are seeing a "Failed to load" message, try accessing the Synapse Studio from a different browser or clearing your browser cache. Sometimes browser-related issues can cause loading problems.
    4. Contact Support: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, consider reaching out to Azure support for assistance. They can help investigate the permissions and access issues further.

    Since your triggers are still running successfully, it indicates that the underlying processes are intact, but access to the interface is restricted due to permission issues. Resolving the permissions should help you regain access to the notebooks and triggers.
