Hi Liu Yang,
Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, I couldn't find relevant information or a solution to my problem in the provided links.
Before posting my question in the community, I came across this post: Multiple Authentication Issue with Custom Connector. I suspect that it might be related to my issue, but I am not entirely sure, given my limited experience with Power BI.
In my scenario, I have a query that retrieves project information. I then use the IDs of these projects to fetch various topic information. The URL changes each time topics for a new project are loaded (due to the new project ID). I suspect that this is why I need to re-authenticate for each project. While this isn't a major issue for a small number of projects, it becomes impractical when trying to manage hundreds of projects, which is the intended use case for using Power BI in this case.
I believe that the frequent re-authentication is caused by Power BI treating each unique URL as a separate data source, invalidating the current token.
Do you have an idea how to solve this?
