Dashboards - Hardcoding User Account?

$

0
Hi the Experts
We have built a dashboard using BI web services, and it refreshes against a webi report.
Every time the dashboard is refreshed it asks for user account and password.
The way round this is to 'hard code' the account details on the dashboard spreadsheet & the web service will then read those account details at run time and will automatically bring back the appropriate data.
However, it is not practical or safe to store user account details in the spreadsheet – and account details of an actual person at that! What if the user account gets broken, or the rights change, or is deleted? Then the dashboard will stop working
Can we create and use generically named user accounts instead?
Experts please help me on how to create and use  generic named user accounts
Many thanks in advance
Best Regards
Ade
