Unable to Connect to Odata Feed--Since Installing the May 2019 Update for Power BI Desktop

Since downloading the May 2019 update of Power BI Desktop, I cannot access the OData feed that I use routinely.

 

I get the message:

 

"Unable to Connect. We encountered an error while trying to connect.  Details: "Access to the resource is forbidden".

 

Yes, it looks like a permissions problem.  However, I am able to connect to this same OData feed successfully from Excel--using the same account and password.

Problem solved!  I have no idea why permissions settings changed on these existing .pbix files.

 

I corrected the problem by going to File/Options and Settings/Data Source Settings and editing the permissions for this (OData) data source.

 

Maybe this posting will help someone else.
