    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    To your first question, I'm afraid it couldn't achieve in Power BI. This aspect of the design is primarily concerned with data source security. You have no choice but to edit data source credentials  when using gateway to  realize quick and secure data transferring between on-premises data (data that isn't in the cloud) and several Microsoft cloud services.

     

    To your second question, I  think your credentials should save automatically . You can go to File | Options and settings | Data source settings and you can edit the credentials there.

    Last , you can come up with a new idea and add your comments there to make some feature coming sooner if you need.
