PowerBI Dataset Refresh error

Hi, I published powerbi datasets and used them in another powerbi report so each connection is a direct query. I am not able to refresh the underlying datasets without getting an error - I have my private gateway set up and also signed in with all my credentials. The datasets refresh with no error in Desktop, only in the online service I am getting this error:

Last refresh failed: 10/3/2023, 12:07:19 PM
There was an error when processing the data in the dataset

Data source error:{"error":{"code":"DM_GWPipeline_Gateway_MashupDataAccessError","pbi.error":{"code":"DM_GWPipeline_Gateway_MashupDataAccessError","parameters":{},"details":[{"code":"DM_ErrorDetailNameCode_UnderlyingErrorCode","detail":{"type":1,"value":"-2147467259"}},{"code":"DM_ErrorDetailNameCode_UnderlyingErrorMessage","detail":{"type":1,"value":"Information is needed in order to combine data.

You are missing Privacy level declarations.

 

 

Information is needed in order to combine data. Please specify a privacy level for each data source

 

Note: Avoid merging data sources in Power Query if you can.  Instead, let the data model do the work for you.
