Enterprise Gateway - Active Directory Security Groups as Users

[pbiideas1]

In the gateway data source I am forced to add each user individually to allow them to create a report off that data source. Alternately I can create custom groups in o365. We have already established security groups on our system would it be possible for these groups to be used? This is an extra layer of security for hundreds of users that has already been solved through active directory synchronization with office 365. The use case is to add a security group or multiple group to be authorized to create reports off the data source. When we add or take out personnel from the security group it will propagate up to Power BI.

still facing same issues to add the AD groups to the users in data source . Is this solved?

[pbiideas1]

When adding AD group for access to a gateway connection, the AD group is found but when selecting the group receive the message... These email addresses are invalid or duplicate. The AD group does not have an associated email address. If using AD groups do they also have to be emailed enabled? Does Gateway access act differently than access in BI Workspaces?

I'm having this same issue as well. Intellesense sees group but when I select it, I get the 'email address invalid or duplicate'.

Since this is getting no traction, likely due to being closed, I opened another idea with the same subject https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/35441353-enterprise-gateway-active-directory-security-gro

If anyone stumbles upon this, the way we got this to work was by adding an email address to the AD Security group Email field. It wasn't even a real email address in our domain. Once we did that, we were able to use our AD Security Group in the Gateway.
