Hello. We extensively implement Service Principal authentication with Power BI. We have our own internal, corporate web platform with the web service runnin as an AAD service principal. This is a common use case across the corporate world. However, the new feature, DirectQuery for Power BI datasets and Azure Analysis Services, does not support service principals for authentication. Why not? I cannot think of a solid technical reason why not.


Please, revise the authentication design of this Power BI feature, so as to support AAD service principal authentication.
