Hi there. The message specifing it requires more information makes me think that you need to specify the privacy levels of the data sources. Go to the dataset settings and edit the credentials of the data sources. When you do that be sure all of the have the same privacy levels (i would suggest all in organizationl). If you want to read more about this you can check the following doc:

I hope that helps,
