Hi All,
I am trying to add a Data Source to my gateway but I am getting an error that says the username needs to have a domain.
Please find the screenshot attached.
Does this mean I need to join a domain to be able to use the Power BI Web Service?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi pragyamishra,
Based on your description, your windows account are not included in a domain, right?
Please check which data source are you trying to configure in power bi service. The entered credential depends on the authentication used by data source.
If you are trying to connect to SSAS.
If you aren’t connecting to SSAS, in most of time, the username here needn’t to be a domain account. It can also be a local account. However, you can’t only enter your account name as the username because format of username should be like servername\user.
To achieve the correct format of username, please refer to steps below:
