changing the sql server source security option- i can't see the source option

How do I change the sql server for my queries.  The source under applied step doesn't have a star nextx to the query and when I go to Data source settings the "chante source is greyed out"  Is this due to something in my security options?

Xiaoxin Sheng,

 

I also have parameters in my powerbi.  I'm not sure if any of that has anything to do with anything.

I'm not sure what kind of data connection.  For some reason the applied steps doesn't show the wheel next to the source.  That data is from sql server.
