Can't create Virtual network data gateway

[BenganBengt]

Hello,

We are trying to create Vnet data gateway in PowerBI but receive an error message.

Error: Unable to create virtual network data gateway. you organization have restrictions on who can create gateways.

We have checked all documentation and settings for PowerBI and in Azure.
We also have checked Azure RBAC roles, regions for PowerBI and Azure Vnet, roles in PowerBI, we have correct licenses(Premium). We also checked tenant settings for PowerBI but couldn't find anything that can block this.

Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong?

Hi  @BenganBengt ,

First you need to make sure you're not getting into known limitations.

What is a virtual network (VNet) data gateway (Preview) | Microsoft Learn

If not,You must be one of these roles to restrict gateway installers: Azure AD Global administrator, Office 365 Global admin, or Power BI service administrator.You can manage who is allowed to install gateways via the Power Platform admin center,ensure that the correct permissions are set for installing gateways.

You may also check if you’re following the correct steps to create a VNet data gateway.

Create virtual network (VNet) data gateways | Microsoft Learn

This includes registering Microsoft.PowerPlatform as a resource provider, associating the subnet to Microsoft Power Platform, and creating a VNet data gateway.

Thanks for the answer. @Anonymous 

We have followed the installation steps, checked limitations and we have also tested to create vnet data gateway with an account that is powerBI service admin and contributor on the vnet so I think the permissions is okey.
We got this to work in another test tenant and subscriptions.

Do you know if there are any settings in PowerBI admin tenant settings or if there is any PowerBI policys that could block us from creating this?

very gratefull for all help 🙂

Hi @BenganBengt ,

Use the Manage gateway installers option to manage who can create a VNet data gateway in your enterprise. This operation isn’t available for gateway admins. Go to the manage gateway installers documentation to learn more.
