HI ani87 ,

You should use the same credentials and privacy level like in Power BI Desktop and Service. You can go to the gear icon in Power BI - Setting - find your data source - Data source credentials. Check Edit credential to see if credentials are required.

Or it may be that the usernames and passwords that you used to sign into data sources aren't up to date. In Power BI, go to refresh settings for the dataset. In Manage Data Sources, select Edit credentials to update the credentials for the data source.

 

I have also found a similar psot, please refer to it to see if it helps you.

Solved: The credentials provided for the MicrosoftAzureCon... - Microsoft Power BI Community

    Dear Support team,

     

    Thank you for looking into my topic, and please excuse my late reply!

    I repeated your instruction step-by-step, and again the same message in the Service.

    The credentials are valid, as I use the same ones to log into the BWP, and it works.

    Could it be that I need a specific gateway to connect to SAP from PBI Service? This I never get installed.

     

    Thank again.

    Kind regards,

    Ani
