Understanding licencing and gateways
We have just a single user in our company who has a Power BI Pro licence - he creates reports which access data on an Azure SQL server (connected by VPN, so technically 'local'), and sends the links ...
If the data is in Azure SQL Server, he should access the datasource directly using the server cloud address ( not using the vpn ) when creating the report in Power BI desktop. This way, he doesnt even need to install a gateway and Premium is not required to set this up.
