Power BI Reporting on Project for the Web / Which permissions required for service account?
Hello, we're currently starting to use Project for the Web pilot-wise for single project management use cases. And as we're also using MS Project Online, we're thinking about enabling Project for...

The default permissions in Project for the Web only allow each user to see the projects that he/she has created, or that were shared with him/her. Ironically, it is very easy in Project Online to "tweak" the default permissions so that every PM can see all projects in the database. In your situation with Project for the Web, I think your best solution is to create one or more reports in Power BI that will show all of the projects in the system. Just a thought. Hope this helps.

Dear Dale, the approach is what we intend to, as every PM in Project for the Web should only see his/her project. However, from a portfolio management perspective, a Power BI report showing all Project for the Web projects is what we're looking for. I already connected via Power Query to the dataverse instance, also there I only see PfW projects created by me. I assume that my permissions, or the permissions of a non-user related technical service account for reporting need to be configured. But I don't have any clue how/where to do that. Do you have a hint?
