Change Authetification for connector

Question

Hello,
I have to connect to connect with PowerBI to Google Analytics Connector using different accounts.

Basically connecting with the first of my credentials is working fine. However I am working in an online marketing agency and we have different account from where I have to connect in order to make the different reports.

I could not find a way to change, delete or add credentials.

Do someone know a way to do this?

Thank you for your time.

PS: Sorry, the tag is totally wrong but I could not use another (?)

My suggestion:
Title: PowerBI - Use Multiple accounts with Google Analytics Connector
Description: Is there a way to switch to different Google Analytics accounts using the GA connector in PowerBI? I work in a marketing agency and I create reports in Power BI to different google analytics accounts that we managed.

I could not find a way to change, delete or add credentials.

Do someone know a way to do this?

Thank you for your time.

Unfortunately the Google Analytics connector works as a singleton. A singleton is a connector that doesn't ask you for parameters, so it goes directly into the "Authentication" phase. You can only have 1 connection definition per singleton in any given environment.

One way to overcome this is to create a dataflow. You can create multiple Power BI Dataflows, each for every single view that you'd like to connect to and then in Power BI Desktop connect to those dataflows and combine them if you'd like.

Hope this helps!
