    I admin like about 10 tenants at the moment. I checked two and they both failed. I saw that Power BI Desktop had an update yesterday, may be its about Power BI Desktop version. 
    What resolved my issue is to disable "Use updated sign-in experience for data sources" setting in Security below options.

Hi kadirkkkk2 


You can try the following and let me know if this works:

  • In Power BI Desktop go to File > Options and settings > Data source settings.
  • Switch to Global permissions.
  • Find Power BI dataflows, click it, then Clear permissions and confirm.
  • Close Desktop, open it again, and this time sign in with the account/tenant where the Gen1 dataflow actually lives.
  • Try Get data > Power BI dataflows again.

After clearing the cached connection desktop finally prompts to log in and then showed the correct tenant’s dataflows.

If your org has locked down cross‑tenant access the proper fix is usually to either:

  • Get a real user account in the other tenant and use that in Desktop, or
  • Ask the admin to allow cross‑tenant access for Power BI.
