Urgent : Power Query Help - Authentication Flow

Hey Everyone,

 

I have an urgent scenario where I want the following to happen:

 

a)  I authenticate to an API via Power BI and if it returns a success go to step (b)

b)  Retrieve data for a unique id from a sql database and display it in a Power BI report

 

I am thinking I can probably do something like this:

 

IF (Person has access) then get data

Else Exit and Show a message

End

 

Is this possible using Power Query? if yes, can someone please give me some code ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Nimish
