clear permission data source power bi

If I clear the permission of a data source in data source setting, can i reconnect again with the data source if needed? thank you

1 ACCEPTED SOLUTION

The warning is about it deleting the stored credentials.

When you enter them the next time, as long as they are valid credentials it will connect and refresh the data.

Yes you can, if you clear permissions it effectively removes the stored encrypted credentials. On next refresh you would be prompted to enter the details again

Thanks Gilbert 🙂

Awesome, it will never delete any of your actual data.
