PowerPivot Management Dashboard – Error

Recently I encountered an error with PowerPivot Management dashboard at a client site. The error read:

We do not know what happened, but something went wrong.

Could you please try that again?

It was a quick fix as they were missing required permission on SharePoint Admin content database.

You will need Excel Services App Pool account to have SPDataAccess permission on Admin content database.
