    Update the SQL Azure connector to use Azure AD Auth. This will allow row level security in the database to be used with PowerBI.

    It would be great to have PowerBI pass through user credentials to the database so that data can be kept secure.

    This feature has shipped in the January 2018 update for Power BI Desktop. Please refer to the official announcement for more details: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-january-2018-feature-summary/#AADauth

    Add me to the list of those disappointed that this is not in the December update. This is significantly impeding adoption of Power BI Desktop for a company I work with. I told them to expect it by the end of year, but now I have no idea as to what I should tell them.

    Please provide an update on this feature. Unfortunately, it didn't make the December 2017 release.

    Apparently this hasn't made the December release either. So not CY17, is there a new estimate?

    Any chance this will come with the December 2017 version of PowerBI Desktop?

    Also a +1. My whole team is building reports off a data source that uses Azure AD, so this is a must have.

    Since this didn't make it into the Nov 2017 release, will it definitely make the Dec 2017 release?
