    You can do more or less the same thing in the PBI Service. It gets more complicated if your data source is on premise as you have to setup the gateway but there areplenty of tutorials kicking around.

Hello Anonymous 

Thanks for your reply on this. I havent actually tried to use this as the project I needed this for was postponed. I am now again about look into it and had another question. At some point in future, we are considering to move to Power BI Service. If we were to use Power BI service for distribution of reports to users, how would the same issue of passing credentials work. Is there another option available with Power BI service to provide the same functionality?
