OAuth2 Authentication in PowerBI service

I'm trying to Authenticate API as part of Gateway cluster.

 

When I select "OAuth2"as authentication method, I don't find a way to pass "Access Token" in a way not even "Secret ID" and "Secret Token".

 

Am I missing something here. Any pointer or input is appreciated

 

error = "invalid_authorization_header, error_description="Invalid Authentication Data"

Need Help

    If you want to use an API in a proper way (including the OAuth flow etc.) you have to build a custom connector.

      It's working fine in PowerBI Desktop.

      We are facing issue to add "Web API" as a data source under Gateway. When we select "OAuth2" as Authentication Method, we don't find options to pass Authorization Details.

      We have requirement to enable it in Service, as we have to refresh frequenctly and need to create Dataflow

        I'll just repeat myself - if you want to use an API requiring OAuth flow to authorize, you have to build a custom connector.
