I just tried to create a content pack with my dashboard (Direct Query to SSAS 2016 Tabular with Enterprise Gateway). Others can see and use the Q&A feature after they get this content pack. I cannot repro the issue you described above. There is some limitations while enabling Q&A for Direct Query, please refer to the bottom of this document.

Best Regards,
