Power BI Desktop support for multiple users via RDS

HI,

 

I would like to know if the application Power BI Desktop support multiple users connecting via RDS sessions on a Windows Server OS where it is installed? Can multiple instances of the Power BI Desktop application and processes on a single server create conflicts between each other?

 

Thanks

Hi @nverret,

After research, it seems that the feature is unsupported to date. Please review the following similar ideas and comment on them. Thanks for understanding.

allow multiple users to open a Power BI Desktop file at the same time
Multiple Service Accounts to same Server

Dear @v-huizhn-msft ,

 

I'd like to ask if there are any news to support Power BI Desktop (RS and Cloud) offered by Remote Desktop Services.

 

Many thanks

Daniel
