There are many helpful guides to connect POwer BI to Servive now with the Service Now REST API explorer.
However, they all use basic auth to a local Service Now account with username and password.
My organsation requires at least oauth level authority, and that complicates things massively.
For the life of me i cannot find any guides that talk you through using a token or other secure method to connect.
The only site I saw with a guide seems offline now!
Any help appreciated, as surely this is a fairly common requirement!
Hi @richardc1 ,
According to my research. if ServiceNow is authenticated via Microsoft SSO, you can use local accounts created at ServiceNow.
For original post,you may refer to Connect to ServiceNow (SSO) - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)
Best regards.

Thanks for your reply, however I cannot use a local account created in Service Now, it must be an AD Service Account.
