Hi Anonymous 

OAuth for custom connectors via gateways is currently supported only for gateway admins but not other data source users. Please check whether you are the gateway admin.

For reference: Handling Gateway Support

 

Please check your network, and add the url in white list.

    Hello Anonymous,

     

    We were actually trying to hit that test link with gateway admin access. 

    Some questions:


    1. Regarding the url to whitelist, which URL do I need to add to the whitelist? My endpoint I am pulling data from? or the one in the screenshot?

     

    2. Is just whitelisting from my network/firewall? Or does Power BI have some sort of whitelist control?

     

    Thanks.
