Super UserParameters to set up in order to switch local user folder location and service one
Hi Guys,
I have 2 ways of loading data into power bi using *.pbip files.
So one is that user will open power bi desktop, power bi connect to his local folders using parameter or windows environment variable
Second data source is azue blob storage. How to switch between them ?
Best,
Jacek
Hi jaryszek ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.
You should consider using deployment pipelines:
When you're using source control only for development purposes, and prefer to deploy changes directly between stages of the release pipeline.When deployment rules, autobinding and other available APIs are sufficient to manage the configurations between the stages of the release pipeline.
When you want to use other functionalities of Fabric deployment pipelines, such as viewing changes in Fabric, deployment history etc.
Consider also that deployments in Fabric deployment pipelines have a linear structure, and require other permissions to create and manage the pipeline.
I hope this information helps. Please do let us know if you have any further queries.
Thank you

Having a data source in a local folder is not a good idea. Why would you allow a gateway to rummage around on your PC?

lbendlin Because i need to import large files locally and not wait for blob storage minutes and hours.
This is why i need a switcher for both service load and local load.
How people are solving it in power bi world? There is no possibility to set it up?
Assuming that developer1 has local folder path and developer2 has another local folder path with csvs inside,
how you would organize it?
Best,

I would not have that scenario. We don't allow our developers to use local paths.
