Hi daniele_tiles 

 

Yes you are 100% correct. That is what I have done with other organizations to ensure that the dataset refreshes will always work as expected and can be refreshed.

    Thank you very much. Another thing I was wondering about is about the change of passwords for a normal user: usually I see that doesn't impact the dataset connection...are there any cases (except the delete of the user) that a change of password might require to re-set the connection? SInce I've got users that are worried about this (I believe it's a false problem, but I'd like to have some guarantees).

    Thank you

      Hi daniele_tiles ,

      You are right. If the password of the account used to configure the data source credentials is changed, the datasource credentials need to be updated. If the password of another account is changed, it has no effect on the datasource credentials, and not need to update the credentials.

       

      If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

      Best Regards,
      Winniz

        Hi Winniz,

        wait, I didn't understand your message.

        Today I've got this dataset with oAuth:

         


        My password changes every 90 days, but I don't have to update in Power BI Service, for each dataset, my credentials every 90 days...am I right?
