Generic user account for warehouse SQL Endpoint

Usually, we create a generic SQL account for reports so that it is not tied to any personal account. I read from the documentation that SQL authentication is not supported in warehouse. What would be the best way to create a generic account?

 

I see that we can create service principal in azure and use it, but it cannot be used in Power BI Desktop. Is there any other way?

Hi @govindarajan_d ,

Thanks for using Fabric Community. 
Can you please explain your ask more clearly? I would like to know few more details so that I can guide you better.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

For example, I can create a new SQL user 'dashboard_data_user' and use it as a generic account for all my reports which will use the SQL user authentication while loading data.

 

How do I do it in Fabric Warehouse, when it doesn't have SQL authentication.
