Using Power Bi to log into https://insights.playfab.com but when I use the Desktop version of Power Bi, I receive a Bad Request error message. When I use the web application of Power Bi to refresh an existing report, I receive a 400 error code.
I use AAD login method and go through the login flow, but still receive the 400 error code.
When I open the Desktop version of Power BI to manually refresh each query, some queries will refresh, but some will hit a 429 error code "Too Many Requests".
Have you followed the instructions on Connecting Power BI to Insights - PlayFab | Microsoft Docs to connect to Power BI? Do you have any other specific error messages when opening https://insights.playfab.com?
Yes, I was able to get it connected using the Power Bi Desktop version. But when I publish the report in the Power Bi web app, I have to validate my user credentials. I try to validate the user credentials with OAuth2 method, but still get a 400 error code in the Power Bi web app.

The proper permissions are set and I am using the same email for both PowerBi & PlayFab. One thing I'm wondering is if someone else creates the report using their AAD. Then that person sends me the report to add my additions, will the report fail to refresh because the initial connection was done by someone else? Leaving me with a "Bad Request" error message
In PowerBi, I can create a new table by clicking "New Source" selecting the Azure Data Explorer, and inputting the necessary details to connect to PlayFab and connect perfectly fine. I believe the issue lies when I'm refreshing a table created by someone else who used their credentials to make the initial connection.
I am not sure of the certain behavior of PowerBI as I am not expert on it. For now, please follow the instructions on Connecting Power BI to Insights - PlayFab | Microsoft Docs.

I cannot reproduce this issue. I am using Microsoft AAD (Azure Active Directory) for login, there is no issue on both Desktop version and Web page.
Since your Desktop version is able to connect to https://insights.playfab.com, I don’t think there is any other things PlayFab can do because PlayFab is just the data source, the rest of the actions is Azure and PowerBI behavior. I have published my project via desktop app to PowerBI workspace and it works fine for me.
I believe you may consult Azure or PowerBI support for the authentication issue.
Thank you for trying! Now the desktop version is giving me a Bad Authenication Error message. I did submit a ticket to PowerBi support so I'm waiting on a response. I can access PlayFab online so not sure where the disconnect is happening. I can leave an update once it's been resolved.

Hello @SethDu
PowerBI support has come back to me with a Bad Request error saying my credentials are the issue. But I can access PlayFab online through a web browser (developer page). I cannot access it through PowerBi. Is there a computer setting that could be interfering with my login flow through PowerBi?
Would you navigate to the studio management page and click the right top ellipsis button? Then enter the "Users" page.
