Hi Ballzer0 , 

When you use web connector to connect this datasource, you should choose corresponding authentication type when connecting(you could delete the permission from edit queries->datasource setting, then re-connect it and choose corresponding credential type).

Or you also could pass the auth-token in it. 

 You could refer to Working with Web Services in Power Query  for details.

Best Regards,
Zoe Zhi

this datasource needs to log who uses it. so they would not be able to give me an authorization token. The system admin said its a NO-Go unless i have user auth.

    Hey!

    Your best course of action would be to create a Power BI Custom Connector. That would be the most ideal scenario.

    Best!
