"As the user viewing the report" in powershell

Hi all,

I am working on changing the dashboard connection in Report Server by powershell squirt . However, i cannot change the Credentails to "As the user viewing the report".

What should the $dataSource.DataModelDataSource.AuthType should be in order to get "As the user viewing the report".

Thank You.

Duncan

Hi, @DuncanYeah 

You can open your Report server web portal and press F12 to enter the developer mode of the browser. Then, configure a data source for a random report. In the developer tools, you can see that when we need to use: As the user viewing the report, the authorization type passed by the powershell command is Integrated.
