I have tried to change by Github credentials but Power Bi Desktop always re-signs me in with my prior credentials. I've tried the suggestion at: http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Integrations-with-Files-and/Change-Github-Account/m-p/298094#M13968
to clear browser data, and it still retains my previous credentials. I cleared both Chrome and Edge which Power BI was runnning or shut down, without effect.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Alex
Hi @Anonymous,
As you connected to Github from Power BI desktop, you should clear the cache stored in desktop. Click File-> Options and Settings -> Data Source settings, choose the Github data source, then, clear credentials for it.
Best regards,

Yes, I have done this. I have also tried clearing the browser caches.
After "Clear Permissions" it does ask me to log in to Github again. I am able to enter repository information: (Owner/Repo Name). Then it says "You aren't signed it" and offers a "Sign In" button. As soon as I press the Sign In button it signs me in under the previous credentials without asking for new credentials. The system will now offer a "Sign in as different user" button however each time I click that it signs me back in immediately still without asking for new credentials.
