    Hi AshDil ,

    In this case, an authorized user has no dataflow in obtaining data, or all authorized users except the creator cannot obtain the dataflow. If it is the latter, check the permission configuration, if it is the former,it may because  users save the Power BI dataflows permissions information of another account in Power BI Desktop, the connect information may not be the same as the Power BI Desktop account.

     

    We can try to use “Files” – “Options and settings” – “data source Settings”, then find “Power BI Dataflows” in “Global Permission”, then clear Permissions of it.

     

    Connect the Power BI Dataflows again and sign in as the current user, then you can see the Dataflows of your current account.

     

     

    Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!


    Best Regards

AshDil in Power bi desktop, go to options and settings-> data source settings and make sure they are using the correct user name to connect to the dataflow.
