    Hi, sevenhills 

    According to your follow-up, I make some additional test, first I change the colleague account to a member of the site, then I use his account to refresh the dataset again, I still succeeded:

     

    This result indicates that both member and admin of the site can refresh the dataset.

    Then I wonder if it’s because you don’t have access to the root website. I changed to another account outside the organization, which can not access the root website. Then I added it to my site, it showed as a guest in the list:

     

    Then I use this account to take over and refresh the dataset, I tried manual refresh and scheduled refresh, you guess what? They both succeeded!

    Therefore, I think that your member access to the SharePoint site is enough for you to refresh the dataset. I suggest you to create a new workspace and publish the report again to the new workspace and try to refresh the dataset.

    What’s more, my share point site is a private group, what’s your group type?

    Hi, sevenhills 

    In my opinion, the refreshing dataset has nothing to do with the workspace if you are the workspace admin. It’s only related to the credential problems, Here are the things you should check again:

    • Edit the credential using the OAuth2 method and login with the correct account.
    • Make sure you can refresh the dataset successfully in the Power BI desktop when you click “Refresh”.

    If you still can not solve this problem, I suggest you to mark this reply as a solution and go to create a Power BI support ticket for better help
