I would suggest when you set up the Data Source in the Data Gateway, you would need to add them into the Users List for each Data Source that is linked to your datasets in your App Workspace.

After that I am certain that they should be able to refresh the data.

The data source credentials are for Visual Studio Team Services, so the Gateway connection states "you don't need a gateway for this dataset, because all of its data sources are in the cloud..." and then it doesn't allow me to select "Use a data gateway" (that option is greyed out).  

 

Each  user is already an admin in the group, is there anyway to allow for multiple users to update VSTS data?

    I've the same refresh issue within Reports in workspace connecting to Project online via ODATA.

    Have you found a solution to let everybody manually refresh datasets without manually inseriting own credential?

     

    thanks

    I am looking for an answer to this as well. How to allow other workspace members/admins to manually refresh a dataset that has a cloud-based data source (ie. no gateway)?
