User impact: Users may be intermittently unable to connect to Azure Analysis Services live connection reports from Power BI desktop.

More info: As a workaround, affected users can disable the “Sign-in experience for data sources” option in the security settings of Power BI Desktop and restart the application to mitigate the issue.

Current status: While we continue to investigate the reason why the default setting that was introduced in a recent service change is causing this impact, we’ve developed a fix that disables this setting and are validating its efficacy before deploying it. We expect that deployment will begin before the time of our next update.

Scope of impact: Some users attempting to connect to Azure Analysis Services live connection reports from Power BI desktop may be impacted.
