How to Identity and Access management Power BI services with Azure Data Explorer (ADX)?

[mohsenakhavan]

I have an Azure Data Explorer that the Power BI services (Data Source) connect to the ADX with personal user credentials.

Also, I have to add this user in Azure Data Explorer permission. Now I want to know, is there any way to remove the user account and use another solution like Service Principal or Manage Identity?

Hi @GilbertQ ,

Thanks for your response. For more clarity, where can I add the service principal?
(I have the below steps)

Hi @mohsenakhavan 

You should be able to change the Athentication Method and then use the service principal. Or if the option is Key then you would need to configure a key to be used.

Yes it is possible, you can create a service principal and then also assign it the required permissions. Then you can update the data source credentials in the Power BI Service to be used.
