PaisleyPrince Hi! 

Both solutions are viable, but the second one is recommended.

  • Option 1: Gaining access to the SharePoint list (through your own account or a service account) allows you to refresh the report using personal credentials. It’s quick to implement but relies on an individual user — if that account changes or is deactivated, the refresh will stop working.

  • Option 2: Setting up a shared cloud connection in Power BI makes the link to the SharePoint list independent of personal credentials. This allows multiple users to manage and refresh the report reliably without interruptions.
