Resource is forbidden error - only since November 2020 update

[vackley]

Hello,

I have been using the same dashboard for months with data linked from Sharepoint Online lists. I updated PBI with the Nov 2020 update yesterday. When I tried to make an update to the dashboard today, I got an error message that the "resource is forbidden" - is this a glitch with the Nov 2020 update? Is there a workaround? I've tried logging in and out of my account, restarting my computer - nothing will let me access my data. 

Note: I've never had access issues prior to this update and there have been no changes to my access on the Sharepoint lists (I'm the owner). 

Any suggestions woudl be appreciated

Is this the first time you've refreshed since you changed your password?  In any case, go to Data Source Settings and clear/update your permission for the SharePoint list data source.

Thanks! There has been no password updates, but seem like the data source setting is reverting to anonymous every time I am logged out (and doesnt change back when I log in) - either way, at least now I know how to fix it manually - thank you!
