GilbertQ Thank you for your answer.

You are right when we're talking about Windows kind of login but what about a database user name and password? When I use database user name and password and it represents my identity in the data source system will the other user use that my identity after he downloaded the pbix from PBI Service?

I think it should prompt for the details

 

I would suggest completing a small test, download the file and see if you get prompted?
