Microsoft EmployeeUsing SAS toke to connect to ADLS issues (PBI Aug 22)
As SAS token is usually limited by time, what is the usage scenario of the new functionality if I need to manually update the SAS token when it expires?
Theoretically I could have updated the SAS token using M if it was allowed to concatenate it to the storage URI, but as this is not allowed, is there a way to update credentials using M to create a full autoamatic flow?
I cannnot use the web connector as I need to use the manifest of the storage folder...

kobia10I think that one relates to SAS as a product. The functionality I refer to is from last month in Power bi
artemusDepending on your scenario you might be able to make a call to update to the data source:
Datasets - Update Datasources - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Docs
Otherwise there is always the option of creating a custom connector to handle this.

As I understand, the updates relate more to parameters, while the SAS token is considered as user credentials, similar to user name and password. I did not see any reference to these...
There is always the option to write a customer connector, but I wonder what is the value of the new feature in this case.., what is the use case of using a SAS token the way it is designed.. do we expect SAS tokens created for unlimited time?
