I have a report that I've uploaded to a workspace outside my organization, but I can't refresh the data (SQL server) because I haven't authenticated through the service yet, the problem is that I can't click on that setting. It's greyed out.
I've never encountered this before, what could be the issue? Could it be that I'm not part of the organization? My profile still says I have Pro license enabled, and they have enabled my access to their office365 environment such as Power BI service, teams etc. So not sure what's wrong.
Thanks
Edit: It doesn't work when I have someone from that organization "take over" the dataset settings either
