Connecting Azure Cosmos DB to Power BI
Currently I am connecting to cosmos db by providing endpoint url in get data menu of power bi desktop application. Endpoint url is taken from azure portal's cosmos db -> key section. Is there any other secure way to connect with out account key?
Can you please anyone tell me how to connect an Azure Cosmos DB to Power BI without account keys.
