Power BI On-Prem Gateway Network Folder Access Credential
Hey mcheng ,
I believe that this is the message that you receive when the connection permissions are not required of the user. So, the gateway/data source that was created is using those permissions and the individual user does not have to enter their own. So, the word "admin" is really about the data source connection itself.
Collinq, thanks again for your help
After tests, I can confirm that:
If the network files/folders do not require authentication, then you should NOT enter any credentials, just skip the testing, any credentials entered will return an invalid message, even you know that they are correct.
If it requires authentication, then the credential is needed. Otherwise, it will fail
Microsoft should have added these as notes/explanations, it would save a lot of our time.
In both cases, the connection shows the same message "admin has granted access, credentials are not required"
