Custom Data Connector with OAuth2 in Power BI Service

Hi,

 

I have a custom data connector with OAuth2 authentication that I want to use in Power BI Service as a template app and then publish to Azure Marketplace. Can anyone tell me if it is possible at the moment? If so, how would I do that?

 

Thanks!

      Hi Gilbert,

       

      Thanks for the reply. If I can get the Connector installed on the Gateway, am I able to publish the template app to Marketplace? The Microsoft document doesn't seem to mention these. Thanks!

        Hi there

        Thinking about it logically, when a customer installs the Template App, they would then need to configure the Custom Connector on their Gateway to enable them to query the data?

    HI pudaludalu,

    As Gilbert said, current custom connector is managed on gateway, you can't directly use it without other requirements.

    For your requirement, I'd like to suggest you use web and other connectors with rest API(mixed known connectors) to get data and return records to power bi instead of custom connectors. (notice: integration credentials verify into power query steps, then you can use anonymous authorization in power bi service side)

    OAuth2 REST API as data source
