Handing over a pbix connected to Amazon Athena

The process of connecting to Amazon Athena from Desktop requires the installation of an ODBC driver (in this case, I used Simba Athena). I've finished the development of the report, but the client requires the file so they can manually refresh the data and re-publish the report to Service. 

 

How will I go about this? If I send them the pbix, what will the data connection look like on their end? Will they need to install an ODBC driver as well?

HI @DaxPadawan,

AFAIK, the data source credentials will be cached on local device.

When you share the pbix file to users, they need to manually input the credentials and install the required data drivers if not existed on their devices.
