Connectivity behavioral Issue

[prpranay]

HI Team,

I have a setup where I have developed a AAS(Azure analysis Service) model developed and published in PowerBI service for our customers to consume it as PowerBi dataset.

My assumption was when I once pusblish a dataset to PowerBI service, My customers will connect to it from their PowerBI desktop if they have access to workspace(and service ofcourse).

The Problem I am seeing is when my customer tries connecting to Power Bi dataset, It asks them to connect to AAS.(My Expection was, it will ask to connect to Powerbi service where dataset is hosted).

Can you please help me understand why is this happening?

Hi @prpranay 

Please correct me if I wrongly understood your question .

You connect to Azure Analysis Services Database in Power BI Desktop and create a report ,then publish the report to Service ,right ?Then you grant access for users so that they can connect to the dataset you published before in Desktop ,right ?

I can't restore your scene because I don't have AAS.

Because you are using your account to log in to the AAS and then publish it to the Service, it means that your account has access to AAS and the credentials in this dataset are your account information. When other users access the dataset through Desktop, his account information is inconsistent with your dataset credentials, and he does not necessarily have permission to access AAS, so he needs to connect to AAS.
