Hello,
I published a new tableau workbook, not including external files because the data source is located on a network drive. I have another workbook and user permissions set in the same folder that permit me and non-admins to connect and view the data in the workbook. It is a live connection (no extract).
I receive this error message even though I'm an administrator! Is there a solution to this problem?
Server 2018.1.3 - Desktop 2018.1.5
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, looks like Server isn't able to connect to the mentioned file. Doesn't matter admin or not. On your desktop, check the connection string of the file, replace it with UNC path to the file location, save it and re-publish without external files. See if this helps.
