Schedule Data Refresh from Sharepoint - no 'Microsoft Account' option

‎03-18-2020 01:56 PM

I'm trying to connect Power BI Report Server to a file on Sharepoint.

 

I can connect from the desktop application but once I upload it to the Report Server, the only options are Anonymous and Windows Authentication, neither of which appears to work.

 

Is this something I can fix? Can IT make Windows Authentication work somehow? Am I SOL?

 

Thanks,

James

Well, I found this YEARS LONG thread here:

 

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Report-Server/Organizational-account-credentials-from-Power-BI-Serv...

 

which seems to indicate that I'm SOL. - Microsoft Report Server can't talk to Microsoft Sharepoint because everything is terrible.
