Data Connection Credential Manager

The first time you create a Data Connection you have the option to specify connection credentials. But if you configure it improperly/make a typo then the connection fails and you can't access the credential popup box again. The way to fix is to go to File/Options and Settings/Data Source Settings/{Select connection}/Clear Permissions and then redo the connection from scratch. If the connection fails I would like to be able to access the popup credential manager again for ease of use.

  • This should simply be the highest priority for Power BI developers right now. Such as basic thing for any application that utilises logins, cannot believe this was even missed, how embarrassing. Even better, just put the credentials bit in the same area as you enter the server/connection string.
  • Currently locked out of connecting to my environment because of this :(
