Couldn't load the schema for the database model

Hi,

 

I have a Dashboard under the client administrator account. This works with no problemems. With the Enterprise gateway the data is refreshed from a on-demand SQL Server.

This dashboard i have shared with a lot of people, also outside the organisation. So am i.

 

A few people outside the organisation have the next message:

"Can't load modelschema that is connected to your report. Check the serverconnection and try aggain"

 

The strange thing is that not everybody have this error

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Did the error throw out when free or pro trail users out side of the organization access the dashboard? If that is a case, we have reported the same issue internally. Normally, the free users should get the 'Pro License Required' dialog instead of the error message. I will keep an eye on this issue and update to you if I get any feedback.

The issue had still to do with the license type. The user didn't have the pro-license.

Does your model import all the data, or does it use Direct query.

 

If Direct Query, do all your users have permissions to the onpremise datasource?
