    Hi, Anonymous 

    For Kusto database permissions, you need to click "Sign in" and enter your newly created account to log in.
    Whether to support login with the same account and password as SQL Server requires you to confirm with the database.

    For more information, you can refer to:

Assuming that your Power BI connection only reads data from the DB - you could use a generic read-only db login.  Of course by doing that you lose all auditing details but that may be ok.  Careful about the scope though.

    Thank you. you mean that I need one special account(with account number and password) that assign it the previlieges to read data from the database. The account is similiar to my own, but the account is used exclusively to access data and does not belong to any one person.

      Hi, Anonymous 

      Yes, you understood it exactly right!It is equivalent to a fixed account to access your database, which requires you to create and give permissions on the database side.
