Connect Azure Database with Power using A or Integrated AD credentials

We are tyring to connect Azure DB (V12 Server) using Integrated AD credencials from PowerBI but it is not working. I am able to connect using admin userid and password but we don't want to share it with all the users. Any other approach should we follow? Can we make this work?

Hi Arnay,

Do you connect to Azure SQL database from Power BI using Azure Active Directory authentication ?

If that is the case, as indicated in this Book Online article, tools like BI and Excel don’t support Azure Active Directory authentication. Currently, we can only connect to Azure SQL database from Power BI using SQL Server authentication.

Thanks,
Lydia Zhang
