Got thrown into an existing setup
Oh boy. Buckle up, this will be a wild ride. I can post some general guidelines if interested but fair warning - they will be overwhelming.
looking to allow powerapp to use the PowerBI gateway
VBI. Very Bad Idea. PowerApps and PowerAutomate connection users MUST have Connection Creator role on the gateway. You do NOT want that on your Power BI gateways, ever. Keep them separate.
Also keep in mind that Power BI gateways serve different types of requests - Import Mode (dataset mashups) and Direct Query mode ( query and result passthrough). Power Platform apps (Automate, PowerApps) only support Direct Query mode.
