Problem

When you try to access a published dashboard, you receive the following error.

Failed to execute query: Delegating principal <user-id> is not a member of workspace <workspace-id> 

 

Cause

The dashboard is configured to be viewed with the publisher's credentials (referred to as embedded credentials) but the publisher has been removed from the workspace. Their credentials are no longer valid, so the query execution fails.

 

Solution

Have a current active user in the workspace republish the dashboard with embedded credentials. This regenerates the access credentials tied to a valid workspace user, allowing the dashboard to function correctly.

 

For details on embedded credentials, refer to the Share a dashboard (AWSAzureGCP) documentation.
