How to configure the data credentials: when the server of data source is powerbi

We are trying to use delegated user authentication. The user account we are using is the admin of the database server.
The configuration was successful when the server specified was the database server, but it failed when we specified the Power BI server.

We can configure the failed on with Microsoft account, but the partial data cannot loaded.

You are mentioning a database server yet you are connecting to another semantic model. Does the owner of your semantic model have access to that other semantic model?

The semantic model is the model itself. So the server of it is configured as the power bi itself.
We try to check the semantic model yesterday but it failed, even though I am the owner of this dashboard

Please use correct terminology. Dashboards do not have owners.

Has your user installed both apps? Or are they set to automatically install?

Sorry, what did you mean by "Has your user installed both apps? "

The question here is how to change the server of this from powerbi dashboard to database server

That question is not clear to me. Please provide more details on what you are trying to achieve, and please use the correct terminology if possible.
