Web API Data Source Credentials issue in service
Hi acepuke
you will need a Power BI gateway for certain types of Web connectors. Specifically, if you’re using the Web.Page or Web.BrowserContents connectors, a gateway is required when you publish your report to the Power BI service. This is because these connectors retrieve HTML pages using a browser control, which involves potential security concerns.
However, if your data source is entirely online or cloud-based, you typically won’t need a gateway.
Hello, thank you for your response.
It's saying that I don't need a gateway for this semantic model, because all of its data sources are in the cloud.
All of the tables are mapped to Personal Cloud Connections. However, in an effort to solve the problem, I did try creating a new connection and ran into the same Authentication problem.
Personal cloud connection! Not sure what you mean. Here's a link that might help
