Like the live connetion for tabular models it would be nice to have the same for SSAS Cubes/multidimensional instead of having toimport the data

I've connected to SSAS multidimentional and i've seen my cubes, but after i have error
Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.CannotRetrieveModelException: An error occurred while loading the model for the item or data source 'EntityDataSource'. Verify that the connection information is correct and that you have permissions to access the data source. ---> Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient.AdomdErrorResponseException: Errors related to feature availability and configuration: The 'Tabular View' feature is not included in the '64 Bit Standard' edition of Analysis Services.

Not really for user with no access to the domain. For example I'm outside my network and I need to use PowerBI Desktop to connect live to a tabular model. This scenario resembles "Connecting to SSAS tabular via HTTPS OLAP PUMP"
Please give me this and the ability to impersonate.

Agreed., We spend all of the time creating a cube and then we need to "build another cube""

Is there a way even if using a connector to connect Power BI to a multidimensional cube
