Permission is required to run this native database query

hey All,

I woke up this morning to this.

Why? How can I resolve this? How can avoid it in the future?
Cheers!

In PowerBI desktop go to

  • Home > Edit Queries.
  • File > Options and Settings > Options
  • Security > uncheck "Require user approval for new native database queries"

If this is checked and someone else save the .pbix, when you open it you will be required to give your approval again.
