Organizational Credentials for utilizing a Dataflow

I've created a Dataflow that is being used in a Power BI model.  The person who now has to refresh the data now receives a notice that his credentials will not allow him to refresh the data.
He has a Power BI Pro Licence and he has Contributor access to the Workspace that holds the Dataflow.

I don't know what else needs to take place.

  • Won't that mean that they would need a Premium License (user of some type).  The company I work with is going 'hand-to-mouth' with Pro Licenses.

    I have done this before, for another person in our company.  They have Pro License and have been able to perform a 'Refresh' action in the Power BI model they are using it for.

    It doesn't appear to like this new person's Organizational Credentials.

      yes, they will need a Pro license to do any "developery" actions (including dataflow refreshes).
