Thank you Lydia.
Just need some clarification.
An On-Premises Data Gateway can be installed using a single Power BI Service account (i.e. UserA) and that same On-Premises Data Gateway can be shared with other Power BI Service accounts (i.e. UserB). It can be shared by making UserB as Administrator for the Gateway and you can provide UserB with permissions for the added datasource(s) too. This means that both UserA and UserB, from within their own Power BI Service accounts can schedule the data refreshs and configure the Gateway.
With a On-Premises - 'Personal' Data Gateway, only the Power BI Service account that installs the Personal Gateway can use that Gateway. For example, if UserA downloads and installs the Personal Gateway then only UserA can use the Personal Gateway. UserA cannot share the access/privileges for the Personal Gateway with another user.
Are both of my statements correct?
Thanks.
