issue with data set credentials

[ukeasyproj]

Currently I have built a few direct query reports in PowerBI and published them to the app.powerbi service.

All of the published reports access the same source SQL Database, but each report has unique credentials.

It seems like the service overwrites the credentials for all of the reports that use the same source database when I go to update the credentials for a given report's dataset.

Is there a workaround for this?

In other words, when I set the credentials for a dataset, I only want that dataset to be updated, not any other dataset that uses the same source database.

Hi @ukeasyproj,

How do you update the credentials for a given report's dataset that is using direct query mode? I can't find the option under dataset settings for a specific dataset using direct query mode. Do you update the credentials for the SQL Database within Manage Gateway settings?

Hi, I am referring to this screen:

when I go to edit credentials, it seems like it updates the credentials for all datasets that use the same SQL source DB

is there a way to only update the credentials for this dataset only and leave the others as is

just to add this is an Azure SQL server (in the cloud)
