Can't connect to Usage Metrics Data Connector

[ryanmkan]

Hello,

I am a new employee and the previous user who updated the usage metrics has left the organisation.

I can't take over the credentials for the usage metrics for some reason. I have tried my own credentials and the credentials that administer our gateway.

thanks everyone!

Hi @ryanmkan ,

Do you have ownership of the semantic model associated with Usage Metrics? If not, you may need to contact your Power BI administrator to have ownership transferred to you.

After taking over ownership, you can use the following procedure to take over a Usage Metrics Report semantic model and update the credentials.

1.Open the workspace that contains the report for which you want to update the Usage Metrics Report semantic model.

2.In the gray header bar at the top, select the Settings icon, then select Settings.

3.Switch to the Semantic models tab.

4.Select the Usage Metrics Report semantic model.

If you are not the current semantic model owner, you must take over ownership before you can update the data source credentials.

5.Select the Take over button, then in the Take over semantic model settings dialog box, select Take over again.

6.Under Data source credentials, select Edit credentials.

7.In the Configure Usage Metrics Report dialog box, select Sign in.

8.Complete the sign-in sequence and note the notification that the data source was updated successfully.

If performing the above steps still does not solve your problem, can you please provide the details?

Same.
Micrsoft Support fixed for us. 
Go to Workspace --> Setting (gear) --> "managed group Storage" then replace the URL String from the ? with this “?showHiddenUsageMetricsModels=1” 

Then you see the semantic model from the usage metrics. Delete it and use the usage Feature again. wish you happy optimization
