Hi @Lenastray ,

 

Credential information for connecting to the same data source in powerbi is unique. Once the authentication is successful, it will be automatically verified when connecting again and this step will be skipped. However, you can select multiple connection methods (import and direct query) for the same data source.
You can also change the credential information in the data source setting.

Best Regards,
Henry
