Screenshots I cannot post unfortunately. What happens is one of the three of us with a PBI Pro login and has access to the particular workspace can download, edit, etc. she gets the data source error when publishing. But if she sends to me and I open and publish it works fine. I compared settings everywhere I could find and it seems everything is exactly the same. But there has to be a setting I’m unaware of that is stripping the credentials when she publishes. So this is different than the similar error people have seen regarding refreshes.

Hi Cpgbi
1. If publish from the Desktop is not working, try to connect to the data from the Power BI Site.
Get Data -> Files (Get) -> Local Files -> find your PBIX file on local drive.
2. Make sure she has the role of power bi service administrator. you can check it in 365 admin portal.

My datasource is connected to snowflake and does not reside in my local so this solution would not work. Is there any other workaround?
