Hello @Gaja24 

 

If this is in your control , 100% go for SSO.

Microsoft Entra ID provides a native integration with Power BI and Snowflake, allowing for a more streamlined authentication process


While individual accounts can still be used, they generally require more manual management and don't provide the same level of integration and security benefits as Microsoft Entra ID SSO.

 It's easier to manage user access and permissions through Microsoft Entra ID, especially if your organization is already using Microsoft 365 suite.

Thanks
