Dataflow - Can't sign in on dataflow

[TBNPieter]

Hi everyone,

For some reason me and my colleagues can't open the transform Data (power query) and work on the dataflow which we have connected to. Only 1 colleague can still do this, but the other 5 can't.

So we made a dataflow to a Sharepoint online list. Then in Desktop my colleague connected to it and made some query's to make a report. Afther a couple of weeks, we changed our passwords (company security rule) and all of a sudden we can't connect to the dataflow in power bi desktop. It asks us to 'Edit credentials' and then gives us no options except to 'Sign in'. If we do this it just returns 'We're unable to connect. Please delete credentials and try again'. 

We have tried deleting and putting the correct ones in, but still get the same error.

I have tried to delete my stored credentials (.zip file on local PC) but that didn't work.

Anyone ever experienced the same issue? Can someone help us out?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, 

Our IT has found the solution somewhere that fixes this problem!!!

Inside Power BI Desktop:

File -> Options and settings -> Options -> Global -> Security ->  Authentication Browser -> Use my default web browser (check this box).

When you do this, PBI Desktop will open your browser so you can log in correctly.

Hi @TBNPieter  Try clearing the Global Permission in Power BI desktop.
