Hi 733 ,

This issue has been confirmed as a known issue internally. (ICM:307200975).
Users using Azure DevOps Server connector may experience issues connecting from desktop and also when refreshing the dataset in the service. It is currently suspected to be a server-side problem.

I'm seeing the same error myself. .pbix works fine with PowerBI desktop, but when trying to refresh the data after uploading the .pbix in PowerBI.com it fails because of credential issue. When I try to update credentials I get the "This operation is not supported for a relative URI" error. I've reported this over in the Azure DevOps community to see if there is a problem on their end. It could be a problem on PowerBI.com though. Since I'm internal, I'm happy to help get to the bottom of this if I can.

Thanks,
