XMLA Endpoint Error

Hello PBI Nation,

 

I'm having a heck of a time getting the new XLMA endpoint working. I've read several articles about it, but I'm not getting it to work, whether I use SSMS 18.0 RC, Excel, or PBI report Builder. I am the admin for my company's Power BI Premium node and it is set to "1" in order to allow this. I have several datasets on the premium node under "classic" workspaces as well as one under a "new" workspace. I can't connect to either. I keep getting the error:

TITLE: Connect to Server
------------------------------

Cannot connect to powerbi://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/VIPER - Sales Managers.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

I am at a loss. I feel like I'm doing everything right, so help me out. What am I missing? The dataset is in Power BI. Our tenant is set to 1 allowing an XMLA connection. I am an admin on the tenant as well as for the workspace. So what gives?

Looks like xmla is currently down. Bummer as I was very excited to start kicking the tires on this feature.
