Switch account used for the Azure Cost Management queries.

I'm having some trouble figuring out how to switch the account I use for the Azure Cost Managment queries. I had originally signed in with my account but I realized that my account for the Azure Cost Managment is just a global reader account. I'm trying to switch out my global reader account with my coworker's billing account owner account in order to connect the queries to Power BI. How would I go about removing/signing out of my Azure account and switching it to my coworker's account? Also, only my account has the Power BI liscense so I can't sign out of Power BI entierly. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi @Anonymous 

 

Do you need to switch account in Power BI Desktop or in Power BI Service? No matter in which place, you don't need to sign out your Power BI account. You just need to edit the credentials provided to connect to the data source. In Power BI Desktop, go to File > Options and settings > Data source settings. Select the corresponding data source and click Edit Permissions. Edit the credentials and use your coworker's account for connection.

In Power BI Service, go to Dataset settings page and select this dataset. Expand Data source credentials and click Edit credentials
