Click Edit on the Credentials window and change from 'Windows' to 'Organizational Account'.

Then make sure you are logged in to Power BI desktop with the same username and password as you have owner access for in Teams.

Please @mention me in your reply if you want a response.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

@AllisonKennedy is right you have to use the Organization Account connection method.

In your screenshot you only change the privacy level of the data.

 

I think the next problem will be the correct URL of the SharePoint site.

 

Here you will find an illustrated guide.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Based on my test, it does not have to be the owner of the folder. Just need to have read permission.
