    Hi, 

    As far as I’m concerned, if you want to connect to your Power BI dataset using external tools through the XMLA endpoint, you should first make sure that your user account has a PPU license unless the dataset resides on a Premium capacity. Then you also need to turn on the XMLA read-write because you are using the applications that perform write operations like DAX studio/ Tabular editor.

    You can go to the Admin portal, select Capacity settings > Power BI Premium > capacity name > Workload:

     

    For more info, you can refer to this link:

    Thank you very much!
