Access/authorization to the server instead of each database.

I do have an analysis services server that contains like ~200 databases. I have one PQ script that connects to each database to extract metadata, this is the relevant step:

 

= Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each
AnalysisServices.Database([URLServer], [DatabaseName], [Implementation = "2.0", Query = "select * from $SYSTEM.TMSCHEMA_PARTITIONS"])
)

 

The issue is that it ask for a Data Source authorization for each database. Is there a way I could avoid this by authenticating to the server? It is inconvenient to authorize hundreds of databases.
