Hi Miguel, I'm just evaluating SDF in a premium per user workspace. I was able to create the dataflow based on IoT Hub, start it, create a report on top of it in Power BI Desktop, and the report refreshes automatically after I configured change detection. Great! Now when I try to publish this report to exactly the same (ppu) workspace, publishing never finishes. Same applies when I try to upload the pbix file to the workspace: "circle of death" forever, and no error messages. I can easily upload to other non-premium workspaces, but of course I lose the streaming functionality. Do you have any hints for me...?

    OK, I have to modify my post a little, after all, this is preview cloud software, and it's changing fast! Today, publishing the report works fine. But as I try to access the report via browser in my ppu workspace, the error message is "The data source Extension is missing credentials and cannot be accessed". I was able to publish there, and I do have a Premium per User license. What can I do?

      Thanks for the flag markusr Let me check with the team and get back you on this. Doesn't seem we have seen this error before but I'll confirm 👍

        Hi again markusr . Some quick checks before we go further down the road here:

        1. Did you go into the dataset settings in the service to enter and confirm your credentials?
        2. Might be unrelated, but make sure you used the new Power Platform dataflows connector

        If is not any of these 2, then it might be something else we need to take a look at 👍
