Dataset Configured By "Personal Email Address"

Hi,

 

It seems that somehow the PowerBI service is picking up my personal email address as seen below, I am logged in with my organisational account which is nothing to do with hotmail.co.uk and I am not currently authenticated with my Hotmail account. What is going on??

 

 

Hotmail account seen in Organisational data connection settings? 

Need Help

    Hi Daniel,

     

    I have exactly the same problem. I'm using an Organisational account, but somehow, it's picked up my personal email address (that I have accessed from my PC during some point).

     

    No idea how it's got there, it doesn't seem to affect anything other than an annoyance!

     

    Thanks!

      Hello,

       

      I have the same problem as jameslo30 DanielClark

       

      This seems to be bug with power Bi.

       

      Please can you be able to let us know the work around for the time being. 

       

      Be default this data configuration setting should be set to whatever the email that is used to sign up to the PowerBI account.

       

      Thanks,

    Hi, I also see the same problem. Configured by in the gateway refresh is picking up my alternative email address instead of organsiational. Possibly related - the recently introduced subscription feature doesn't work, no emails are generated. Could service be picking up the incorrect email details causing both problems? Regards Ger

    Hi DanielClark,

     

    Which type of data source are you using? We cannot reproduce this issue.

     

    In your scenario, please re-configure this dataset, refresh this page and check if this issue persists or not.

     

    Regards,

    This is happening to me too. Nice to know I'm not alone in the world. Looking forward to seeing a fix soon as I'm unsure if other issues I'm having are related to this or not.
