API with BLOB datasource using SAS

We have an application that is deploying out a PBIX file to the web service via the API. The source for the report is a set of files in BLOB storage. We have generated a SAS and used that while setting up the connection before deploying out. However, once its deployed, it still wants a user to enter the credentials for the datasource in the web service. The whole point of using the SAS is so we dont have to have a user enter credentials. We are deploying this out to a number of workspaces and dont want to have to provide the end users with credentials or permissions to access the BLOB files.

 

Anyone know of a way to have Power BI access these files in BLOB without having to have an end user go in and update the datasource credentials in the service?

 

Thanks.

The workspaces we are creating and deploying to via the API are on premium capacity.
