Cannot change data source credentials to anything different than current credentials because of SSO

Hello, I'd like to set up in my dataset a sharepoint data source  that would use a generic O365 account. I'm following this guide https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/refresh-data...

I have the exact same issue. I have a data source that I am trying to connect to using a general service account that our IT team created so that users don't have any issues connecting to the data if I were to leave the company. However, I never get a chance to enter the service account details, I just click "Sign in as different user" then enter the email as some random caracters @[mycompanydomain] and then I get a page saying "Taking you to your organization's sign in page" and I am taken automatically all the way through the sign in process using my account without a chance to enter a password or anything. I would expect to at least get an error because the email I entered is jibberish but nope. Worth noting that I am working on Power BI Desktop so there is no option for incognito mode or anything of the sort because the signing in is done in a generic browser window from within Power BI itself.

    HI Anonymous ,

     

    I just asked the originator of this issue if he has it resolved so that maybe we can all learn how it was resolved.  If not, perhaps you can open a ticket with Microsoft and let us all know the resolution?

     

    I would appreciate Kudos if my response was helpful. I would also appreciate it if you would Mark this As a Solution if it solved the problem. Thanks!
