After a flow is configured and published to Tableau Server, running the flow fails and the following error might occur:
The input file path is not valid or you do not have permissions to access the file.
Cause
The flow ran under the Run As service account which didn't have permissions to the input files.
Verify Tableau Server has Safe listed the input and output locations:
tsm configuration set -k maestro.input.allowed_paths -v your_networkdirectory_path_1;your_networkdirectory_path_2
tsm pending-changes apply
tsm configuration set -k maestro.output.allowed_paths -v your_networkdirectory_path_1;your_networkdirectory_path_2
tsm pending-changes apply
Note: The value can be either *, (for example, tsm configuration set -k maestro.input.allowed_paths -v "*") to allow any network directory, or a specified list of network directory paths, delimited by a semicolon (;), as in the examples above.
Confirm the Run As service account has permissions to the input file.

If permissions to the file are missing for the Run As service account, the following error can be found in the flowprocessor log file:
