There are some options to resolve the problem. Some of them can be performed only by Jira Administrator.

  1. Create a local Jira user account, grant this user permission to work with the connector. Afterward, SSO users can create connectors from their usual Jira accounts and share them with that local users' accounts and use the local user's credentials for exporting Jira data into Power BI Desktop. Please note that all data can be exported according to Jira permission schemes.
