Hi @_mrugesh ,

If this is MFA enabled it won't be easy to use in the Service.  There are ways around it but they are mostly manual.  THe big issue is that Power BI Service does not use interactive logins - and MFA is interactive.  So, Power BI sees if it has access or not and if it has to wait for an MFA to be entered, it fails.  The common workaround is to use a service account that is not MFA and use the Service Account for the Data Source and then there is no MFA issue.
