Hi @Anonymous,

 

AFAIK, power bi as connector use windows credentials to get data from SSAS datasource, it means current user need it has corresponded role on database side with permissions.  Maybe you can try to use other connector to login to SSAS database.(e.g. ole db connector)

Client libraries (data providers) used for Analysis Services connections
