Dataflow data source credentials issue

Hello everyone!

 

I'm having situation with Dataflow Data Source credentials in Power BI service. I can't edit them, I can't even access them. 
It looks like this:

This is the case for all dataflows that I have, except the ones that I have in Test Workspace (that's my test office 365 group). They are all under my command. My co-worker tried to do the takeover and after that I took them back, but apparently my credentials were remembered and I wasn't even asked to sign in again. 
I don't use gateways.
My data is coming from CRM (connecting trough CDM), SP online and i have couple entities that use OData. Everything is coming from cloud basically. 
Today I got an error which said my dataflows weren't refreshing because credentials were invalid. I saw it's beacuse I wasn't signed in and today I managed to edit my credentials for the first time in probably two weeks. I signed in again and after that I couldn't access credentials, again. 
Is this issue for the ticket or am I missing something?

    this is ticket territory.  Did you play with the enhanced compute engine settings?

    Hi skusulja ,

    Cannot reproduce it in my environment, I can edit the credentials of cloud data source normally. Please try to create a new dataflow with cloud data source to test whether you can set refresh and edit data source credentials.

    If only the previous dataflow cannot edit credentials, I suggest to create a support ticket for further help.

      I created new dataflow (SP online list as data source) and I could access all dataflow data source credentials afterwards. 
      Half an hour later, I couldn't anymore. A little bit later, I could again. Weird. 
      I'll keep an eye one them and, if this continues, raise the ticket.

      Hi,

      I was about to raise a ticket towards Microsoft but it started working on it's own. 

      I haven't had the issues since. 
      So I don't know what the problem was and what fixed it.
