    Hi bajee,

    Thanks for your reply. I appear to be able to refresh the reports manually when I am viewing them in the service using the "Refresh" button. I'm authenticated when working in the Power BI Desktop using my windows credentials but need to be able to configure a generic account in the service. 
    I have uploaded multiple reports (with different Datasets) all using the same endpoint, and it appears that the first report I upload will allow me to enter credentials. I don't understand why it is only available in one Dataset and not all. 


    I haven't installed a Gateway because I don't believe I need one.
