Unable to set Scheduled Refresh for data from shared email account

Hello,

I created a dashboard where data is coming from a shared email inbox but I am getting error "Failed to update data source credentials..." when setting the scheduled refresh. I have access to the shared email inbox and was able to create a dashboard but I cannot create a scheduled refresh, see screenshot below. Thank youCapture.JPG

We cannot add a gateway to our data sources. I end up automating and saving it to a spreadsheet in Sharepoint and it works.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

What happens if you change the privacy level to Organizational?

 

Also can you make sure that the connection detials you entered do successfully authenticate?

I tried all the options, Public, Private and Organizational but it did not work. And for this reason I cannot authenticate. But I was able to connect and get the data from the shared email inbox, I just cannot schedule refresh.
