How do I update credentials for an Azure table using API

[brendacusabel]

Hello,

I am new to PowerBI.

My pbix data source is an Azure table,  and I can switch to a different table storage account after I have published

my pbix to PowerBI service via Set Parameter API.

Is there a way through PowerBI API to update the credentials (account key) when ever I switch to a different Azure table

storage account.

Thank you.

Hi @brendacusabel,

Based on my test, it seems to be that updating the credentials (account key) for Azure Table Storage isn't supported current. 

I used this call: GetBoundGatewayDatasources (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt732874.aspx). However, there is no account key listed in the connectionDetails.

So I would suggest you add it as an idea on Power BI Ideas forum to improve Power BI on this feature. Here is a similar idea for your reference.

Hello.

I am trying to update an Azure Table Storage Key and used the message body below for a Patch data source API request.

{
"credentialType": "Key",
"credentials":
{ "credentialData": [
{"name": "key",
"value": "<Azure table storage key>"
}]
},
"encryptedConnection": "NotEncrypted",

"privacyLevel": "Private",

"encryptionAlgorithm":"None"
}

And I get a bad request response:

{
"error": {
"code": "BadRequest",
"message": "Bad Request",
"details": [
{
"message": "The property 'credentials' does not exist on type 'Microsoft.PowerBI.ServiceContracts.Api.GatewayDatasource'. Make sure to only use property names that are defined by the type.",
"target": "datasourceDelta"
}
]
}
}
