How to setup authentication OAuth/OIDC/SAML support in Power BI

Hi there,

 

I am trying to setup an APi as a data source in Power BI.  But I have to authenticate beforehand.  Is there a method in Power BI that enables authentication to take place first before data can be retreived?

 

Thanks,

 

DJ
