Proxy can't see a file on network but appears to have permissions

  • I have a package that reads a file from a Network share, when I run it (the package through a SQL Agent JOb) as myself the SSIS package completes successfully. When I change the job to use a proxy account I get an error similar too:

    the file name "\\xxx\xxxx\xxxxx\xxx.ext" is not valid

    The proxy account seems to have the neccessary permissions on the network share, I can see the folder and the file when I sign in as the proxy account.

    Can anybody please explain to me why the SSIS package can't see the file when run using a proxy but has no problem when I change the proxy to run under my account, and the Proxy account appears to have the correct permissions when I sign in as it and map to the network share it can see the file?

  • There are multiple levels of permissions, share and file system permissions. You referenced share permissions, so those appear fine. does the proxy user have permissions at the file level?

  • It appears so, the proxy can see the file and open it, its only reading from it so I guess that should be enough...I will quadruple check tomorrow though, it stinks of permissions but I can find anything out of sync.
