Hi powerbiexpert22 

In such cases its is best practice to use an account with elevated permissions but not linked to a user.  Usually admin accounts or service principles can be created for this purpose.  Your IT division should be able to create a dedicated account under Entra ID (assuming you're using Azure identity) which has the ability to refresh and its not going to be removed when someone leaves.

The account usually has a workspace admin level permissions.

HTH.
