Power BI Desktop - Data Source Credential Options Missing

[mlochan]

Hello,

Issue: Data Source Setting (credentials window) is missing Web API & Organizational Account selection. 

Question: Why would these selections be missing as an option?  

In a new PBIX file I am unable to add the necessary datasource becassue Organizational Account selection is missing.

In a previously created PBIX file, the only way I can see the Organizational Account selection is if I navigate to Data source settings, click on the data source, and then clisck Edit Permissions.

Hey @mlochan ,

a potential workaround is to manage your credentials using the Credential Manager before use the  data source with PBI.

Please let me know if it works for you.

Cheers, LQ

I'll take a look at this with my team but I would still like to understand why Web API & Organizational Account options are not available to me anymore.

@amitchandak - I have tried all three available options with no success. 

When I select Microsoft Account, I choose my account, then am provided with the "We couldn't authenticate with the credentials provided. Please try again." message.

@mlochan , Try Microsoft Account option and check
