How Jira pbit works withouth credentials

Hello everyone,

I have a question about how the pbit provided at the link Jira pbit model manages to download all the informations of the issues without having to input the user credentials.

The project isn't public, how does it work?
I don't remember to have ever set the credentials. Does it use Chrome saved password or something similar?

@MaxItaly,

When I connect to the PBIT file in Power BI Desktop, it prompts me to enter credential.

In your scenario, Power BI Desktop may store your credential. Go to Files->Options and settings->Data source settings, then check the JIRA data source under Date sources in current file/Global permissions, click "Edit permissions" to check the credential.

Thanks, I couldn't find them and I probably forgot to have inserted them once.
