Input Data Source Credentials from Power BI Service

[pennyhoho117]

In Power BI Service, we input the Data Source Credential from Power BI Service, and Power BI would encyrpt using RSA public key and send to gateway to decrypt then re-encrypt by the AES key and send back to Power BI for storage.

1.  is there any method to enter an encrypted Data Source Credentials from Power BI Service, instead of entering the real data source login info? our company has concern for inputtig credentials from Power BI Service.

2. If yes, can provide any document?

Hi @pennyhoho117,

We sincerely appreciate your inquiry through the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

We understand your concern regarding the entry of data source credentials directly into Power BI Service. Security is a top priority for Microsoft, and we have implemented robust mechanisms to ensure that credentials are handled securely.

As per my understanding, the Power BI Service currently does not support the direct input of pre-encrypted credentials. The encryption process is managed internally by Power BI, requiring users to provide actual credentials (such as a username and password) during the setup. This ensures that the encryption process is securely managed by Power BI.

Thank you.
