Ability to Edit Existing Gateway Connection Properties

[Bhuwanreddy999]

Hello Team,

Could you please review and update on the below feature request.

Background

Customers have reported a regression in the Power BI Service where owners of on‑premises gateway connections unable to modify key connection properties—specifically:

• Connection type
• Server name
• Database name

Business Impact

• Creating new gateway connections:
  • Requires manual remapping of many datasets
  • Increases risk of refresh failures
  • Causes avoidable downtime and maintenance effort
• This limitation is especially impactful in environments with hundreds of reports and datasets tied to shared gateway connections.

Feature Request

We request that Power BI reintroduce support for editing existing gateway connection properties, specifically:

• Connection type
• Server name
• Database name

At minimum, this capability should be available to:

• Gateway Admins / Owners.
• With appropriate validation and warning prompts to prevent accidental misconfiguration.

Example below of a connection that the owner of connection and unable to change at this time.
