I have the same issue.

I'm also using a lot of generated web queries.

 

For some of them passing the credential in the http header combined with an anonymous authentication work.

 

Unfortunately most of my generated web content call are getting the data from SharePoint on premise.

 

The Data Source authentication on Power BI report server is really not good.

 

We should be able to define it the same way as the global permissions in Power BI Desktop.

The Data Source concept is inheritate from Report Server that is not capable of dealing with dynamic queries.

 

An improvement from Microsoft is really needed, this issue is currently a Killer factor for the ramp up of Power BI Report Server in my company.
