Credential or secret embedded in a query
"Credential or secret embedded in a query" is one of the reliability checks Auditabi runs on a Power BI semantic model. n query(ies) contain what looks like a password, token or API key literal. It is a critical finding: it breaks refresh, returns wrong numbers or exposes data, so it should be fixed before publishing. Remove the literal, use the data source credentials managed by Power BI (gateway / cloud connection) or an Azure Key Vault-backed parameter.
What is detected

Why it matters
Breaks refresh, returns wrong numbers, or exposes data. Fix before publishing.
How to fix it
Remove the literal, use the data source credentials managed by Power BI (gateway / cloud connection) or an Azure Key Vault-backed parameter.
