Helper IActive Directory and Scheduled Refresh on PBI Service
I have created a report using the Active Directory as the data source in PBI Desktop, and published it to the Power BI service. When I go to the "Schedule Refresh" page, the option to schedule a refresh is greyed-out.
Does this mean we cannot refresh the Active Directory dataset? Or does it refresh automatically with no need for scheduling?

MrFahrenheitWhen I check the settings, Data Source credentials is greyed-out (cannot access).
