Hi @aka

When setting up the Analysis Services in the Power BI Service, the account that you use has to be a member of the Administer of  your Analysis Services in order for it to work and connect properly.

You can still pass through usernames with Row Level Security etc with using the EffectiveUserName property.

Here are more details if required: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-gateway-onprem-indepth/

@GilbertQ it means that the username should be the administrator for the analysis server instance, correct?
