Connection reference missing after dploy MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt (snowflake)

 Hi: i am deploying a report & semantic model trough 

MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt, using a Service Principal.  but the connection credentials seem to be missing after deployment.
 
I can refresh in desktop, but when i open connection details under settings the credentials are missing.
 
Any idea what could be wrong?

Hi @Anonymous ,

After deployment, manually configure the connection credentials for the deployed items in the Power BI service. You can do this by navigating to the dataset settings in the Power BI service and updating the credentials there.

Hi Xianda,

 

I know the manual route, but I want to keep the data source credentials in the file itself, they seem to disappear after deployment. Manual publishing does not have this issue
