Add New Users to Gateway Cluster
- 6 years ago
When they publish a report that uses that source, you will see the Gateway connection available to them under the data settings page as mentioned below. I know it is a little confusing. They will not see a list of all data sources that have been defined, rather Power BI will match what is in their report with what you have defined. Please note that you need to keep the definitions the same (ie. don't use a server alias in one place and a fully qualified name in another, also to be safe, keep the case consistent). Please let me know if this helps!

-Justair07,
If you only want them to be able to use the data source that you have defined, you need to add them as users of the data source. This will allow them to publish reports using this data source and schedule refreshes of their data sets. You will do this seperately for each data source and each data source can have a different set of users defined that can use it.
Hope this helps!

dethompson97 I tried that as well but when I added the user at the datasource level, I went over to the Power BI service account of the user I shared it with and I did not see the data source as being available to them to use. Maybe I was looking in the wrong spot.

dethompson97 Thank you!! That was the step I was missing! I needed to look at the published reports Dataset settings for the user I shared the datasource with and it was staring me right in the face under Gateway connection
