Error Message: data source file is missing credentials and cannot be accessed

I have created a report in Power BI desktop for our portfolio reporting. 

Then later I created a 2nd report for Third party costs, which uses the semantic model from my portfolio report.  When I published the Third party costs report (to the same workspace as the Portfolio report) I got the following message in the desktop app: 

When viewing the report in Power BI workspace the page that contains the portfolio infomration has this error

I asked copilot and it says I should edit the data source credentials but these are greyed out

I have checked both reports and the permissions are None.. 

can you help me please

Thanks for the quick response..  It looks like you are right, but my organisation's IT is blocking me I have logged a call and hopefully they can help me resolve.

If the data source is cloud based you can click on Gateway and cloud connections you can click on that in the settings and setup a cloud connection. If the data source is on-prem you will need to install a personal or enterprise data gatway to connect to your data source
