Failed to update data source credentials: The credentials provided for the OData source are invalid.
Thank you for your response. To clarify, does this mean that my user account requires either global admin rights or specific API permissions through Azure Active Directory (AAD)?
Is this permission only necessary when refreshing data within the Power BI Service (Cloud)? I ask because I am able to refresh data from Microsoft Planner using the same organizational account in Power BI Desktop.
Additionally, in Power BI Desktop there is no option to select “Oauth2” as an authentication method. Instead, I simply log in with my Organizational Account. Is this expected behavior?
Hi , ChristianEvan33
The credentials you set is used for this data source instead of the user login on .
We need to configure this data source with credentials that are accessed by permissions.In Power BI Service and Power BI Desktop, we all need to configure the corresponding credentials for the data source. Credentials are needed when we request access to the data source, and refreshing also requires access to the data source, so credentials are also required.
To test , you can first try to make the same credential has been configureed both in Desktop and Service.
Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!

I have already updated the credentials in Power BI Service to match those used in Power BI Desktop. As such, both sets of credentials are now identical.
Hi, ChristianEvan33
Can you try to refresh the dataset if it can be refreshed now?
If it sitll not work , can you show the error code it returns?

The error was exactly what I first posted in the beginning of this post. I already aligned the credentials between PBI desktop & PBI service since the beginning I created this post.
