Same database server with different SA

Hi Guys,

 

We are trying to connect one DB server with mutiple service accounts 

DB Server: XYZ

DB Name:Xyz

DB Windows Account: team.read

 

DB Server: XYZ

DB Name:Xyz

DB Windows Account: client1.read

 

Got below error:DMTS_DuplicateDatasourceError

 

And moreover it does not allow mutiple gateways on single server; dont expect us to create gateway in 10 server for 10 clients.

 

Any thoughts!

 

Regards,

Navin

Hi @Anonymous,

 

It is a known limitation in Power BI currently. Here is the idea shared on Power BI Idea forum. You can vote it up and add your comments there to improve Power BI on this feature. Smiley Happy
