Can Power BI service connect to Azure APIM using datasource credentials

Hi BarGraph2020 ,

Based on your problems, here are my answers.

Firstly, APIM supports data source credential authentication in Power BI Service. I think this document may help you: Connecting and authenticating to data sources - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn

Secondly, your reference to the Data Source Credentials option being disabled in the Power BI service is, I believe, a result of the appropriate permissions being set in the Power BI or Azure settings.

For APIs managed by Azure APIs, you may need to ensure that the APIs are configured to accept the authentication method used by Power BI. You can also look at this document: How do I find the Account key for power bi Data source credentials - Microsoft Q&A
