SQL direct query credentials
scienario
"A" has access to SQL DB
"A" creates a report/dashbaord using direct query. uses SQL admin credntials in the gateway
"B" does not have access to the SQL DB
"A" shares the report/dasboard with "B"
Since for SQL only the admin credentials are passed to the gateway, and not the user credentials- will "B" be able to view the report content?

Is this also true for Azure SQl, where no gateway is required?
As long as you haven't applied RLS, the same should apply. The author passes on their creds with the report.
In effect for all datasources expect SSAS- if any dashboard is shared with another user (B), B can see the content even if B dosnt not have acess to the database? Direct Query, is not "Live Connection" - SSAS uses Live connection, and it requires that all end users have read access on the tabular model. If they don't, they won't be able to see the visualizations - they will just show as gray boxes.

The SQL admin credential determines that gateway can access the database.
Whoever you share your dashboard with can access the shared dashboard,report and data.
