Report Server and Power BI connection as current user...
Trying to get a handle on what types of connections can utilize Windows Authentication as the user viewing the report, and which cannot.
I was hoping a great deal of connection types would allow this, but it seems to be only available for SQL Data connections utilizing DirectQuery.
While a paginated report data source can utilize the current user for all of its connection types (SQL, SharePoint List, SSAS, ODBC, etc.) it doens't appear a Power BI dataSource can. I had hoped to be able to use DirectQuery to a SharePoint list, and use the current users windows credentials to connection, thereby moving permissions checks to the SharePoint side.
Am I just missing something ?
Thanks.
Hi rgiltner ,
According to the official article, sharepoint list does not support direct query mode.
And you could refer the following article:
SharePoint Online List Direct Query method

Thanks Lucien. So does Power BI Report Server only utilize Windows Auth as the current user on "DirectQuery" type data connections only ? And only those can that be implemented ?
