[Question] If you schedule refresh or refresh a dataset, what account makes the call to the server?

I am getting emails from the dba that says I am running a huge amount of queries within a short time.

As far as I know, the only thing I have done is schedule a bunch of reports for daily refresh.

 

If I schedule a refresh, does it make the call to the database in my name?

Hi there

Yes if you have configured the Gateway source to use your credentials it will then show on the database as queries coming from your login name.
