Data Source Connection Settings are Greyed Out in the Report Server

I have uploaded some PBIX files in the Report server with local host connection strings (SQL Server and Analysis Services). After the upload, when i enter the Manage option and try to edit the connection string, it is in grey out condition and cannot be edited. I need to edit it and give my production configurations.

 

Kindly help.

 

Thanks,

Sabari
