I have two Semantic models(connecting with PowerBIRESP API via MEZ file) , Connector(MEZ file) is setup on Gateway server..
one needs admin permission on PowerBI API and another doesn't need. both are setup 100% same way, only difference is one pulling Power BI metadata that needs admin permission.
while refreshing, "admin" one failing with "Invalid Credential"
Connector(MEZ file) is setup on Gateway server.
Now different credentials are here
IF Model returns “Invalid credentials", then what credentials are invalid. What is role of each credential.
What credentials are actually being sed to pull Power bi metadata.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Considering you have service principal id and secret hardcoded in the M code of .MeZ file, you dont need to enter any other credentails while configuring the gateway connection. You can use anonymous authentication.
Power BI user credentials and the service account used for gateway installation has nothing to do with the data refresh failure due to invalid credentails.
