Getting 'Specify a privacy level for each data source error', gateway already set to Organizational

[olimilo]

I'm getting the following error:

Information is needed in order to combine data. Please specify a privacy level for each data source.;Information about a data source is required.. The exception was raised by the IDbCommand interface. I checked the data gateway setting for the gateway this dashboard is using and it is already set to Organizational. I've also set the privacy level of all data sources to Organizational in the report file itself prior to publishing. What can I do to fix this?

Hi  @olimilo ,

You can try to download the report locally and open the option "Combine data according to your Privacy Level settings for each source", then refresh the data once, if there is an error about inconsistent privacy level or missing privacy level settings, it means you do have the problem, you can set the privacy level of each data source to "Organizational" according to the reminder of the error, because according to my previous tests, as long as all dataset data sources, service configurations, and gateway settings are inconsistent with the privacy level of this data source, it is possible to encounter this problem.

double and triple check again on the dataset semantic model. Republish to the workspace and to the app (if on Premium).  edit all connection credentials again and check there as well. Then retry.

Did you add any native queries lately?

Add new queries - no, but I did update some existing ones. I ended up clearing the global permissions and setting everything back up again.
