Power BI not showing images from a URL

I am on the desktop Power BI application.

 

I have an ERP system (Acumatica) storing images in the cloud and am connected via OData as an Administrator to that system.

 

The image links look like: https://silkcraftofor.acumatica.com/Frames/GetFile.ashx?fileID=A6173F5D-99B3-45A1-AB53-497B9A1FEE9F

 

I used the following table formatting:

When I go to display the Image URL I get the following output:

 

MNHGaming_0-1714407718613.png

 

I was following online guides and I'm not sure what is amiss here. Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm a newb at PowerBI, but this looks like it should be pretty easy.

the user needs to be logged into the ERP system

We discovered that to get the images, the user has to not only have Power BI open online, but ALSO be signed into the ERP system at the exact same time in the same browser. I'm guessing this is some kind of shared cookies issue.

We are getting the same issue after publishing. I'm seeing something online about these images needing to be public. Is it an issue that you cannot access them without credentials, even though the OData feed HAS my credentials?

@MNHGaming After publishing this report, are you still seeing the broken image icon on Power BI Service?
