Power BI + Live Connection Analysis Server + security

Is it possible to not autorise them ? Only autorise them for the dashboard and not for the underlaying datamart.
I have specified a dedicated on permise user in the gateway. The dashboard should be using that user to query the data. Same as when he is importing or refreshing data.
I'm not clear about these above.
Please refer to the following guide to configure schedule refresh for SSAS.

To make it clear. We have a normal user called John and a Power BI Gateway User called GatewayUser.
The GatewayUser can access the ssas tabular datamart. John can't access the datamart.
User John access the dashboard and requests data. Using the gateway the data is retreived (live) from the datamart under the credentials of John.
What I want is that the data John wants, is requested under credentials of the GatewayUser.
Of course import is an option, but the live connection has much more benefits.
How can I implement impersonation on a live connection to use the gatewayuser identity ?
Can I specify the effectiveusername ?
