Yes., just try it.
Hi,
The Scheduled refresh with two input files, once is excel and other is SQL database has worked successfully,
How ever in order to schedule the refresh we need to provide our user credentials at back end.
and if the password expires after three months i need to update my password to all the Power BI report published in server.
which is time consuming , do we have any other option for this?
Can you please assist me.
Thanks,
- Please create and use a service account and grant the permissions to the new account. This is the recommended way of using sources with authentication.
Any procedure or prerequisties to create a service account.
Do i need to contact power bi support team or can i do by my own
- No, that’s only a active directory account, created by your IT department.
I prefer that the password never expires and the pass’s also cannot be changed.This user can be used by every automated process on your department.
