A user that maintains numerous PowerBI models & reports changed their password.


Every model was broken by the password change. Users could not see current information.


The owner had to manually update the credentials for every semantic model.


We have dozens of models. Many organizations must have hundreds or more.


This is bad. A PowerBI admin should be able to update their password without breaking PowerBI for the entire organization.


There has to be a better way and I'm sure the smart folks at MSFT can figure this out. So please do that, and quickly.


In the meantime, the lesson here is never change your password.
