Helper IPrivacy Levels control - where is it?
Resident RockstarHi Burma,
Firstly, Power BI only support anonymous authentication for Web.Contents currently.
The easiest approach for the product team might be:
- Allow the privacy levels classification of the data sources in Power BI Service manualy, instead of doing it automatically now
- Allow other types of authentication for Web.Contents besides "Anonymous" (even when Content payload is set)
- Enable OAuth2 in On-Premises Data Gateway (that, however, is not very good)
For your first two suggestions, you could submit your ideas in Power BI idea Forum and add your comments there to improve Power BI and make this feature coming sooner.
For the third suggestion, it has been supported in Power BI Service currently, you could find the option under Manage Gateway.
Best Regards,
Cherry

Regarding OData2 authentication support, we have the option you've mentioned enabled, however there is still no OAuth2 authentication available...

Hi Burma,
Sorry for that I didn't explain the option clearly. We cannot get the OAuth2 option in Power BI on-premise Gateway currently.
That "Allow user’s cloud data sources to refresh through this gateway cluster. These cloud data sources do not need to be configured under this gateway cluster” option is for Combining on-premises and cloud data sources. This blog could describe it in more details.
If you only have an online data source, you do not need to configure it with on-premises gateway.
If you still need to have the option OAuth2 authentication available, you could vote this idea in Power BI ideas Forum and add your comments there to improve Power BI and make this feature coming sooner.
Best Regards,
