Web API - how secure is the Key if it is placed here?
Hi Anonymous,
I see, hopefully this article https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/power-bi/whitepaper-powerbi-security will help. The for you relevant part starts at https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/power-bi/whitepaper-powerbi-security#data-at-rest.
Here is the quote in the blog:
"After this the API token gets stored separately from the query in the secure credentials store and you don’t need to enter it again each time the query runs; this also means that the API token will not travel with the workbook if you email it to someone else, for example."
which is great - but we would like to understnad more how this works. what is the "secure credentials store"? how does it interact between the PBIX (PBID) and PBIS?
