Enabling Microsoft Edge (Chromium) for OAuth authentication in Power BI Desktop

  • Članek

If you're using OAuth authentication to connect to your data, the OAuth dialog in Power Query uses the Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 embedded control browser. However, certain web services, such as QuickBooks Online, Salesforce Reports, and Salesforce Objects no longer support Internet Explorer 11.

October 2021 Power BI release

Note

If you are using an earlier release of Power BI, go to December 2020 Power BI Release.

As of October of 2021, Power BI Desktop now uses Microsoft Edge WebView2, by default, for OAuth authentication for all connectors. However, you can change the default behavior using environment variables.

  • To disable the use of WebView2 for specific connectors, set PQ_ExtendEdgeChromiumOAuthDenyList with the name(s) of the connector(s) you want to disable. Multiple connectors are separated by semicolons.

    setx PQ_ExtendEdgeChromiumOAuthDenyList   MyExtension1;MyExtension2

  • To disable the use of WebView2, set PQ_DisableEdgeChromiumOAuth to true.

    setx PQ_DisableEdgeChromiumOAuth   true

December 2020 Power BI release

As of December of 2020, Power BI Desktop uses Microsoft Edge WebView2 for OAuth authentication with certain connectors. These connectors are:

  • GitHub
  • QuickBooks Online
  • Salesforce Reports
  • Salesforce Objects
  • Smartsheet
  • Twilio
  • Zendesk

On your Power BI Desktop machine, you can get WebView2 control either by installing the new Edge (Chromium) browser (at least beta) from https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/download, or by installing the WebView2 redist package.

All other connectors will use Internet Explorer 11 by default unless the settings are overridden using environment variables.

  • To enable WebView2 for all connectors, set PQ_EdgeChromiumOAuthAllowListAll to true:

    setx PQ_EdgeChromiumOAuthAllowListAll   true

  • To enable WebView2 for specific connectors, set PQ_ExtendEdgeChromiumOAuthAllowList with the name(s) of the connector(s) you want to enable. Multiple connectors are separated by semicolons.

    setx PQ_ExtendEdgeChromiumOAuthAllowList   MyExtension1;MyExtension2

  • To disable the use of WebView2, set PQ_DisableEdgeChromiumOAuth to true.

    setx PQ_DisableEdgeChromiumOAuth   true
