    Hi. 

    After a support session with Microsoft, it seems we are forced now to use Privacy Level=Organiztional when you have connections to more than once source and few other issues they are enforcing now without comunicating.

     

    • When you have a dataflow pulling data from more than one source
      • Connection must have as Privacy level = "Organizational" 
      • It was a good practice before but now we are forced to set it up this way.
      • On the other hand, my dataflow has been connecting to api.powerbi.com, now I have to setup the "Skip test connection" to get it working again, as some new fabric updates went trough the last month. In general, when using a token to interact with an API, we will have to skip connection always to avoid issues.

         

         

        I hope this helps in case we face issues related to it...remember, to always use "Organizational"
