You built a Power BI Desktop report that loads order data from a SQL Server database and enrichment data from a local CSV file. Because the CSV source is marked Private, cross-source query folding is blocked and refresh is slow. You must change the CSV privacy level to Organizational and have the change persist for any future reports that use the same file path. Which action should you take?
In Power Query Editor, use Advanced Editor to add the parameter PrivacyLevel=Organizational to the Source step.
Open File > Options and settings > Data source settings, select the CSV path under Global permissions, choose Edit Permissions, and set the Privacy Level to Organizational.
On the Home tab of Power Query Editor, select Transform > Data source settings and change the privacy level for the current file only.
Publish the report, then in the Power BI service dataset settings set the gateway Privacy Level Mapping for the CSV data source to Organizational.
Privacy levels are defined per data source in the global permissions store. In Power BI Desktop you open File > Options and settings > Data source settings, switch to the Global permissions tab, select the CSV data source, choose Edit Permissions, and set the Privacy Level to Organizational. Editing the M code cannot set privacy, and changing settings after publishing or inside Power Query does not update the global permissions used by all reports.
