Web data source with different credentials not saving per file

I have multiple pbx files, each basically the same report, but each one calls the same web URL with different credentials.

My problem is that each file doesn't save the credentials with the file.

All files seem to use whatever the last credentials are.

 

Is there a way to force the credentials to be saved with each file as i need to update them every time i open a new file to make sure the correct data is brought back.

 

Any ideas?

    GRob that is tough one, weird scenario though. Not sure if you can save the multiple credentials for the same data source.

      I assume that the data source URL I used in the first pbix file is resused in other files if i decide to use the same url in another pbix file.

      So data sources are shared.

        Power Bi defaultly saves datasource credentials to the global permission list, it goes with your Power BI account. You can edit the permission in with different credentials in the Current file list.
