    The gateway only allows for connection via the Power BI Service. The users will not be able to get access to the data in Desktop, only in the published report. 

     

    So you need to publish a dataset, check that it works in the service and let them created reports of that. So publish the report and them ask them to connect to the Power BI dataset from Power BI Desktop:
