Hi @Anonymous,

 

By my tests, it seems that when you edit your credential for the first time, you don't need to edit for the second time if you don't open the pbix file from another machine.

 

You could check if you have the permission under Global Permission in Data source settings.

 

In addition, you could have a reference of this thread about credentials.
